Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 lemons (juice and zest)
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup chicken stock
Method:
- Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, mix the lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, fresh thyme, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Cook the Chicken: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Heat a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the marinated chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Bake: Pour the chicken stock into the skillet with the chicken. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink inside.
- Serve: Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Serve with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a delightful meal.
