Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 cups Chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Begin by preparing the marinade. In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, honey, smoked paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours for maximum flavor infusion).
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil (if needed) and sear the marinated chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Do not discard the marinade; set it aside.
Once the chicken is seared, pour the reserved marinade and chicken broth into the skillet. Bring the liquid to a simmer and then transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
Bake the chicken in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Baste the chicken with the pan juices halfway through cooking for extra flavor.
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve the 'Oh So Good Chicken' with your favorite sides such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.
