Main Course

  1. 3

    Prepare the Chicken

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). In a bowl, mix minced garlic, lemon juice, fresh thyme, salt, and black pepper. Rub this mixture over the chicken breasts.

  2. 4

    Cook the Chicken

    In a large oven-safe skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breasts for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.

  3. 5

    Serve

    Remove the skillet from the oven, let the chicken rest for a few minutes, then serve with the arugula salad.
