Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper.
Coat the chicken with the marinade and let it sit for 15-20 minutes.
Heat a skillet over medium heat, then sear the chicken for 2-3 minutes on each side.
Add chicken broth to the skillet and transfer it to the oven.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

For extra flavor, let the chicken marinate for a few hours or overnight.
Serve with a side of rice, roasted vegetables, or a fresh Greek salad.
Use chicken thighs for a juicier option.
