Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken chops
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 cup water
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 cup chicken broth, low sodium
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, fresh rosemary, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and smoked paprika to create a marinade.
Place the chicken chops in the bowl and thoroughly coat them with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large oven-safe skillet or baking dish, arrange the marinated chicken chops.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water until it forms a smooth slurry.
Remove the skillet from the oven and add low sodium chicken broth to the chicken chops.
Pour the cornstarch slurry into the broth and stir gently. This will thicken the sauce as it continues to cook.
Return the skillet to the oven and bake for another 5 minutes, or until the chicken chops are cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
Garnish the chicken chops with fresh parsley before serving.
