Today I am going to share with you an easy chicken recipe: a garlic and herb roasted chicken breast. It’s simple, delicious, and flavorful. Chicken breasts are smoothered in olive oil, garlic, and herbs creating a moist chicken entree that is ready in just half an hour.

As you can see, this is a giant package of chicken, a 5 pound pack, and this recipe uses three of the chicken breasts. You can use 3-4 breasts depending on the size. First off, you want to salt and pepper on both sides of the chicken.

Then you are going to combine 3 tablespoons of olive oil, garlic, parsley, and hot sauce in a mixing bowl.

Stir it all up and add your chicken and coat liberally.

Let all the flavors marry for a few minutes and put the chicken in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.

Sear the chicken on one side for 2-3 minutes, turn over and sear the other side for another couple of minutes.

Then take the whole skillet and put it in the oven to finish cooking for about 15 minutes.
The result is a wonderfully moist chicken, perfectly seasoned, with a hint of garlic. So good!!
