Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon dried herbs (such as thyme, rosemary, or Italian seasoning)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Juice of 1 lemon
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt, black pepper, and dried herbs.
- Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
- Place the seasoned chicken breasts in the skillet and sear them for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they develop a golden brown crust.
- Squeeze the fresh lemon juice evenly over the chicken breasts.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
- Remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve the One-Pan Lemon Herb Chicken with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables, steamed rice, or a fresh salad.
