Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 4 large garlic cloves
- 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1.5 cups cherry tomatoes
- 1 cup green beans
- 2 cups baby spinach
Instructions
Begin by preparing the marinade: in a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, finely chopped rosemary, and thyme. Add in sea salt and black pepper, then mix well.
Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure each breast is well-coated by turning them in the marinade. Let the chicken marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for more intense flavor.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large oven-proof skillet, over medium-high heat, sear the chicken breasts for about 3 minutes on each side until they are golden brown. This step is to sear and develop flavor, not to cook through.
Add the cherry tomatoes, whole green beans, and any extra marinade into the skillet with the chicken breasts. Arrange them evenly around the chicken.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C).
Remove the skillet from the oven, and add in the fresh baby spinach. Stir into the pan juices and vegetables until just wilted.
Serve the Whole30 Petti di Pollo hot, garnished with additional fresh herbs if desired. Enjoy your flavorful and wholesome meal!
