Juicy Chicken Delight Recipe

Step 3: Add Aromatics

Reduce the heat to medium. Push the chicken to one side and add butter and minced garlic. Let the butter melt and the garlic become fragrant, about 1 minute. Spoon some of the butter over the chicken as it cooks—this keeps it moist and flavorful.

Step 4: Finish in the Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Pour chicken broth (or water) into the skillet. Carefully transfer the skillet to the oven and roast for 15–20 minutes (depending on thickness), or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 5: Rest the Chicken

Remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes. Resting allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the meat tender and juicy.

Step 6: Optional Garnish and Serve

Slice the chicken and drizzle with pan juices. Garnish with fresh parsley or a squeeze of lemon for a bright, fresh flavor. Serve alongside your favorite sides like roasted vegetables, rice, or mashed potatoes.

Tips for Maximum Juiciness

1. Don’t overcook: Use a meat thermometer to ensure perfect doneness.
2. Marinate if possible: Even a 30-minute marinade in olive oil, lemon, and herbs enhances flavor.
3. Use a hot pan for searing: This locks in the juices and creates a golden crust.
4. Baste: Spoon pan juices over the chicken during cooking to keep it moist.
