Mediterranean Crusted Chicken
Mediterranean Crusted Chicken is a delicious dish where chicken is coated in a flavorful blend of Mediterranean herbs and spices, such as oregano, thyme, garlic, and lemon zest, then baked or pan-seared to create a crispy crust.
Ingredients
- 4 chicken breasts boneless, skinless
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 lemon zest
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, lemon zest, salt, and pepper to create a marinade.
- Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Make sure the chicken is well coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (or up to overnight for more flavor).
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add a bit of olive oil to the skillet.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade and shake off any excess. Sear the chicken in the skillet for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Transfer the chicken to a baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Serve the Mediterranean Crusted Chicken hot, garnished with fresh herbs or a squeeze of lemon juice, and enjoy!
