Savory Herb-Infused Chicken with Roasted Garlic and Lemon Butter Sauce

Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Next, season the chicken breasts generously with salt, pepper, and a blend of dried herbs such as thyme, rosemary, and oregano.

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the seasoned chicken breasts and sear them for about 4-5 minutes on each side until they are golden brown.

While the chicken is cooking, take a whole head of garlic, slice the top off to expose the cloves, and wrap it in aluminum foil.

Place the wrapped garlic in the oven alongside the chicken. After searing, transfer the skillet with the chicken to the oven and roast for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

While the chicken and garlic are roasting, melt 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a small saucepan over low heat.

Once the garlic is roasted and soft, squeeze the cloves into the melted butter, and add the juice of one lemon, stirring to combine.

Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. To serve, plate the chicken and drizzle the roasted garlic lemon butter sauce over the top, garnishing with fresh parsley for a pop of color.
