Garlic Herb Chicken

Garlic Herb Chicken is a flavorful and aromatic dish that brings together the richness of garlic and fresh herbs, creating a mouthwatering experience. Perfectly seared and baked, this dish is ideal for a cozy dinner for two.

Ingredients

• Chicken breasts - 2 pieces (about 200g each)
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic - 4 cloves, minced
• Fresh thyme - 1 tablespoon, chopped
• Fresh rosemary - 1 tablespoon, chopped
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon
• Chicken broth - 100 ml

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
2. In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, minced garlic, chopped thyme, rosemary, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice to make a marinade.
3. Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are well coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
4. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a little olive oil. Once hot, sear the chicken breasts for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
5. Transfer the seared chicken to a baking dish and pour the chicken broth around it.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 75°C (165°F).
7. Remove from the oven, let rest for 5 minutes, then serve with the pan juices drizzled over the top.
