Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F. In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of dried oregano, 1 tablespoon of dried thyme, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon of salt.
Rub this herb mixture all over 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the chicken breasts and sear them for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
While the chicken is baking, prepare the roasted garlic. Cut the top off a whole head of garlic, drizzle with olive oil, and wrap it in aluminum foil.
Place it in the oven alongside the chicken for the last 30 minutes of cooking. Once the garlic is soft and caramelized, squeeze the cloves into a small saucepan.
Add 1 cup of heavy cream, the juice of 1 lemon, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Simmer over low heat for 5-7 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve the sliced chicken drizzled with the roasted garlic lemon cream sauce and garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color.
