Instructions

1
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C. Season the chicken breasts generously with salt, pepper, and mixed herbs, ensuring an even coating for maximum flavor.
2
Step 2
In a pan over medium heat, melt the butter and add the minced garlic. Sauté the garlic until it becomes fragrant, releasing its aromatic essence into the butter.
3
Step 3
Place the seasoned chicken breasts into the pan. Sear each side for approximately 3 minutes, achieving a golden brown crust that locks in the juices.
4
Step 4
Squeeze the juice of half a lemon over the chicken. Transfer the pan to the preheated oven and bake for about 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
5
Step 5
Once baked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. This resting period ensures the juices redistribute, keeping the chicken moist.
