Ingredients

- 1 Tablespoon of Fragrant Dried Dill Leaves
- 1/2 Teaspoon of Premium Smoked Paprika
- Freshly Squeezed Lemon Juice as per your preference
- 1 Tablespoon of Aromatic Dried Basil
- 1 Tablespoon of Finely Ground Garlic Powder
- 1 Tablespoon of Cold-Pressed Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 2 Exquisite Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
- 1 Tablespoon of Robust Dried Oregano
Instructions
Preheat Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Prepare the Herb Seasoning:
- In a small bowl, combine the dried dill leaves, dried basil, dried oregano, finely ground garlic powder, premium smoked paprika, Himalayan pink salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Mix well to create the herb seasoning blend.
Prepare the Chicken:
- Pat dry the boneless skinless chicken breasts using paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- Brush each chicken breast with cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil, ensuring they are coated evenly.
Season the Chicken:
- Sprinkle the prepared herb seasoning blend generously over both sides of each chicken breast, pressing the seasoning gently to adhere to the surface.
Sear the Chicken:
- Heat a skillet or oven-safe pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add a drizzle of olive oil.
- Carefully place the seasoned chicken breasts into the heated skillet. Sear each side for about 2-3 minutes or until they achieve a golden-brown crust.
Transfer to Oven:
- Once both sides are seared, transfer the skillet or pan to the preheated oven.
Bake the Chicken:
- Bake the chicken breasts in the oven for about 15-20 minutes or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and are fully cooked through.
Rest and Serve:
- Remove the cooked chicken breasts from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes.
- Before serving, squeeze freshly squeezed lemon juice over the herb-crusted chicken breasts according to your preference.
Serve:
- Plate the Texas Roadhouse-inspired Herb Crusted Chicken, and it’s ready to be served alongside your choice of side dishes, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh garden salad.
Notes
– To ensure that your chicken breasts are cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The internal temperature should be 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
– Feel free to adjust the herbs and spices to your taste.
– For a bit of added flavor, try adding some lemon juice or white wine to the olive oil and herb mixture.
– To ensure a crispy coating, make sure that the chicken breasts are well coated with the olive oil and herb mixture.
– If you want to add a bit of color to the dish, try adding some chopped parsley or chives to the herb mixture.
