This easy Garlic Herb Chicken recipe delivers juicy, flavorful chicken every time. Perfect for a quick weeknight dinner with simple ingredients and pro tips.
– 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
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.
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.
