- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- In an oven-safe skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat.
- Sear the chicken breasts for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes until chicken is cooked through.
