Ingredients
– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 to 2 pounds total)
– 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
– 6 cloves garlic, minced
– 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
– 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
– 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, finely chopped
– 1 teaspoon fresh oregano, finely chopped
– 1 teaspoon kosher salt
– 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
– 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
– Lemon wedges and additional fresh herbs, for serving
Instructions
1. In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, herbs, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.
2. Pat chicken dry and place in a dish. Pour marinade over chicken, coating thoroughly. Marinate for 20 minutes at room temp.
3. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken, reserving excess marinade. Cook for 5-7 mins until golden brown.
4. Flip chicken, reduce heat to medium, and pour reserved marinade into pan. Cook for 5-8 more mins until chicken reaches 165°F internally.
5. Let chicken rest for 5 minutes. Spoon pan sauce over the top and serve with lemon wedges.
Notes
For best results, ensure chicken is dry before marinating. Chicken can be marinated in the fridge for up to 4 hours. Use 1/3 the amount if substituting dried herbs.
