Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare the chicken breasts: Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper to taste.
- Heat the olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear on each side until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- Sauté the garlic in the same skillet until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Be careful not to burn it.
- Deglaze the pan with the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Stir in the lemon juice, thyme, and rosemary.
- Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning some of the garlic and sauce over the top of the chicken.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, before serving.
