Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 lemon, sliced
  • Fresh parsley for garnish
  • 1 bottle of Pinot Grigio

Preparation Steps

Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a small bowl, mix thyme, rosemary, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Rub this herb mixture evenly over the chicken breasts.

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breasts for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Then, transfer the chicken to a baking dish, add lemon slices on top, and bake for 20-25 minutes until cooked through.

While the chicken is baking, pour a glass of Pinot Grigio to enjoy with your meal. The wine’s crispness complements the herbs and enhances the flavors of the chicken.

Serving Suggestions

Serve the herb-seasoned chicken breast with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad. Garnish with chopped parsley and lemon wedges for extra freshness. Pairing with Pinot Grigio creates a light, flavorful experience perfect for any occasion.
