Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F; place 4 chicken breasts on a parchment-lined baking sheet and brush both sides with 2 tbsp olive oil, then season with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
  2. Step 2: In a shallow dish, combine 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup chopped parsley, 1/4 cup chopped dill, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper; dredge each chicken breast in the mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
  3. Step 3: Heat 2 tbsp butter in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat until melted, add chicken breasts, and cook for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown.
  4. Step 4: Transfer skillet to oven and bake for 15-18 minutes until internal temperature reaches 165°F; while baking, pour 1/4 cup chicken stock into skillet, add 1 tbsp lemon juice and 1/4 tsp lemon zest, and simmer for 2 minutes to deglaze.
  5. Step 5: Remove chicken from skillet, spoon sauce over it, and serve immediately with extra lemon zest.
