Delicious Rosemary Chicken Recipe | Easy Mediterranean Dish

Ingredients

Servings:
6
  • 4 pieces chicken breasts (boneless and skinless)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (extra virgin preferred)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary (chopped)
  • 4 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 lemon zest and juice
  • 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)
  • 1 cup chicken broth (low sodium recommended)
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes (halved)
  • 1 cup green beans (trimmed)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, rosemary, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Add chicken breasts and coat well. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes.

    For best flavor, marinate overnight in the refrigerator.
  2. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even cooking.
  3. Sear the Chicken

    In a large oven-safe skillet, heat a little olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the marinated chicken for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden.

    Do not overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if necessary.
  4. Add Broth and Vegetables

    Pour in the chicken broth and add cherry tomatoes and green beans if using. Bring to a simmer.

    This will keep the chicken moist while baking.
  5. Bake the Chicken

    Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

    Use a meat thermometer for accurate results.
