Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  2. 2

    In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, minced garlic, thyme, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, and pepper to create a marinade.

  3. 3

    Place the chicken breasts in a large bowl or zip-top bag and pour the marinade over them. Ensure the chicken is well-coated. Marinate for at least 15 minutes or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.

  4. 4

    Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken breasts and sear for 4-5 minutes until golden brown on one side.

  5. 5

    Flip the chicken breasts over and transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F).

  6. 6

    Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.

  7. 7

    Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy your Garlic Thyme Chicken with your favorite sides!
