Ingredients

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

1 tablespoon lemon juice

2 tablespoons butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil, ensuring they're evenly coated. Then, sprinkle the seasoning mix generously over the chicken.
  4. Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the butter and let it melt.
  5. Sear the chicken breasts in the skillet for 2-3 minutes on each side, until they’re golden brown.
  6. Once both sides are seared, squeeze fresh lemon juice over the chicken.
  7. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake the chicken for 20-25 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  8. Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Storage: Store leftover chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheating: Reheat gently in a microwave or skillet with a bit of butter or oil to keep it moist.
  • For a creamy twist, add heavy cream and Parmesan cheese to the skillet after cooking the chicken to make a simple sauce.
  • If using chicken thighs, increase cooking time slightly due to their higher fat content.
