Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 6 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 cup chicken broth (Whole30 compliant)
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary leaves, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 whole lemon slices
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
In a large oven-proof skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and sear until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes on each side.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add minced garlic. Cook for about 1 minute until the garlic is fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth and scrape up any brown bits from the bottom of the skillet.
Add lemon juice, fresh thyme, and rosemary to the skillet, stirring to combine.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, turning to coat them in the sauce.
Place lemon slices on top of the chicken breasts.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
Bake for 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and has an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the garlic chicken with a spoonful of the sauce from the skillet, alongside your favorite Whole30 compliant sides.
