Tips:

  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs add a much more vibrant flavor to the dish than dried herbs. If you can, use fresh parsley, thyme, and rosemary for the best results.
  • Let the chicken marinate: Marinating the chicken in the garlic herb sauce for at least 30 minutes helps to infuse the chicken with flavor. If you have time, you can marinate the chicken for up to 24 hours.
  • Cook the chicken over medium-high heat: This will help to sear the chicken and lock in the juices. Once the chicken is browned, reduce the heat to medium-low and continue to cook until the chicken is cooked through.
  • Use a meat thermometer: The best way to ensure that the chicken is cooked through is to use a meat thermometer. Insert the thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken breast. The chicken is cooked through when the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Serve the chicken with your favorite sides: This dish goes well with a variety of sides, such as roasted potatoes, steamed vegetables, or a simple salad.

Conclusion:

Garlic Herb Chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The chicken is marinated in a flavorful garlic herb sauce and then cooked until tender and juicy. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
