Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and set them aside.
In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to create the seasoning blend.
Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil on all sides, then sprinkle the seasoning blend evenly over them, making sure to coat both sides.
Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and sear them for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. They do not need to be fully cooked yet.
Pour the chicken broth and lemon juice into the skillet with the chicken. This will create a flavorful sauce to keep the chicken moist while baking.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes to lock in the juices.
Sprinkle with fresh parsley for garnish, if desired, and serve warm. Pair with your favorite sides like roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a simple salad for a complete meal.
