Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken Breasts: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the chicken breasts on a clean cutting board and pat them dry with paper towels. Season both sides of the chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper.

  2. Create the Flavorful Herb Rub: In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, and dried oregano. Mix well to create a flavorful herb rub.

  3. Coat the Chicken: Using your hands, rub the herb mixture all over the chicken breasts, making sure they are evenly coated on both sides.

  4. Sear the Chicken: Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add a drizzle of olive oil to the skillet. Place the chicken breasts in the skillet and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side, until they develop a golden-brown crust.

  5. Transfer to the Oven: Once the chicken breasts are seared, transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Allow the chicken to cook for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the juices run clear.

  6. Rest and Serve: Remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken breasts rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a juicy and tender result. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.

  7. Enjoy: Serve your Easy Juicy Chicken Breast alongside your favorite sides like roasted vegetables, a fresh salad, or fluffy mashed potatoes. This dish is versatile and pairs well with a variety of accompaniments.
