Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
-
In a bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
-
Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board and pat them dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
-
Rub the marinade mixture all over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are evenly coated. Allow to marinate for at least 15-20 minutes.
-
Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and sear for about 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.
-
Add the cherry tomatoes to the skillet, scattering them around the chicken. Drizzle the lemon juice over the chicken and tomatoes.
-
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the tomatoes are blistered.
-
Remove the skillet from the oven and sprinkle the chopped basil on top of the chicken and tomatoes. Optionally, add freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
-
Serve the Healthy Chicken hot, either as is or with a side of your choice such as a green salad, quinoa, or roasted vegetables.
