Ingredients
8 Bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts
1 cup Fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped
8 slices Garlic cloves, sliced thin
to taste Kosher salt
to taste Black pepper
2 tablespoons Olive oil
Directions
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and season generously on both sides with kosher salt and black pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 1 minute.
Carefully place the chicken breasts skin-side down in the hot skillet and let them cook undisturbed for 6–8 minutes until the skin is golden and crispy. Do not move them during this time.
Flip the chicken breasts and cook for another 2–3 minutes on the other side until lightly browned.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Once the oven is ready, transfer the skillet to the oven and roast for 12–15 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F at the thickest part.
Remove the skillet from the oven and scatter the sliced garlic evenly over the hot chicken. Let it sit for 1 minute to infuse flavor.
Top each piece of chicken with fresh chopped parsley just before serving.
Comments
This is a straightforward weeknight winner for a Charlotte family. All ingredients—whole chicken or parts, fresh parsley, garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper—are stocked at every major local chain, with no special trips needed. The stated 35 minutes is honest for a cut-up chicken; a whole bird will run closer to 50-60 minutes, so clarify your cut before shopping. At roughly $1.50-2.00 per serving depending on chicken price, this is genuinely economical, and leftovers reheat beautifully for lunch. It's low-fuss, forgiving, and scales easily from weeknight dinner to weekend entertaining.
