Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat chicken breasts dry with paper towels, then season both sides with 3/4 tsp sea salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
Step 2: In a shallow dish, combine 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 2 tbsp finely chopped rosemary, 1 tbsp finely chopped thyme, and 1/2 tsp garlic powder. Dredge each chicken breast in the flour mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
Step 3: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add chicken and cook undisturbed for 3 minutes until golden brown on the bottom, then flip and transfer the skillet to the oven to bake for 15-18 minutes until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
