Lemon-Pepper Chicken

Chicken Breast - Meat and Poultry

Moist and tasty, these chicken breasts are a staple at our house. Four 7-ounce breasts will yield 6 servings that are a smidgen over 4 1/2 ounces. For best results, try to use chicken breasts that are roughly the same size. Check the internal temperature at 10 minutes if sizes are irregular or if they are thicker than normal.

Meat and Poultry

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Combine lemon-pepper oregano and pepper in a small bowl; pour onto a plate.

Step 3

Pour 1 to 2 tablespoons avocado oil into the bottom of a skillet just enough to cover the bottom and heat over medium-high heat until it shimmers.

Step 4

Dredge both sides of the chicken in the seasoning and place into the shimmering oil. Sear until golden about 3 minutes on each side. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear 12 to 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
