Garlic Herb Butter Roasted Chicken Breast

Ingredients

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 pounds)
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. In a medium bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, parsley, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Mix until well blended into a smooth compound butter.
3. Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels.
4. In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they’re golden brown.
5. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Spread the garlic herb butter mixture over each chicken breast.
6. Sprinkle the chicken with garlic powder and onion powder.
7. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
8. Once cooked, remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
