directions

  • Heat oven to 450 degrees.
  • Wait 5 minutes, then place a non-stick skillet on a medium heat element. Melt 1 tbsp butter in the skillet. Once it is half melted, add the olive oil. Stir. Add the garlic, and cook 1 minute. Do not let it burn!
  • Sprinkle the chicken breast with the greek seasoning, half on each side. Place the chicken breast in the skillet. Cook for 4 minutes on medium heat. Turn the oven off, but do not open the door! Flip the chicken over and cook for 6 minutes on low heat, covered.
  • Remove the chicken and place in an oven-proof dish. Pour the skillet drippings over the chicken breast. Cover with aluminum foil.
  • Place the dish with the chicken in the oven, and let it sit for 10 minutes without opening the door.
  • Serve with the pan drippings over the chicken breasts. I cut mine up and then poured the drippings over. Delicious!

  1. Update: Made this tasty chicken again...this time I did pan sear the chicken before adding in the garlic...it gave it a nice color...the flavor is still tasty... 7/23/2016 I can't believe how easy and tasty this was...the chicken was so moist...not dry at all...loved the Greek Seasoning...I added extra on each side...next time I think I will do a quick sear to give it a touch more color before adding the garlic to the pan...and because I used a cast iron skillet to cook my chicken in I'm going to just throw that in the oven...made for :For Your Consideration" tag game...
     
  2. This was wonderful. It was quick, simple, and truly delicious. This will be a repeat at my house often. Thanks for sharing, Lynette. Congrats on your football win.
     
  3. All I can say is WOW..... this recipe is AWESOME... I never would have thought to combine the seasoning that are in the "Greek Seasoning Mix" you can bought at the store... because I had never even herd of it before I had to figure out how to make it at home. which thankfully I was able to do... at allrecipes.com ... and when I used it for this recipe I was truly impressed.... however I did make one slight adjustment.... I also add a single serving of homemade "creamy mashed potatoes"... I took one medium red potato, peeled and finely cubed... boiling them until fork tender while waiting for the 10 resting period for chicken to complete... once potatoes pieces were fork tender I welled drained them added 1 tsp butter and 1/2 Tbsp. Heavy whipping creamy for "creamy potatoes" ... plated potatoes serving in center of dinner plate.... when chicken was I finished I too choose to slice mine and plate it on top of the mash potatoes... drizzled pan dripping over top and just for the visual appeal added a few parsley flakes on top of all... I LOVED IT.... bet it would go with over rice, pasta or even veggie noodles (some refer to them as Zoodles) too.... heck, my nephew whom doesn't even care for white meat.. sampled a bite and I ended up "sharing" half of the serving with him.... Now he wants to me to try it using boneless-skinless chicken thighs over veggie zoodles. when I make it again using chicken thighs, I'll be sure to post a pic and another review to update if you like.

  5. Thank you for posting this recipe. My son is now grown and I have been trying to find as many recipes for one as I can. The chicken was moist and truly delicious.

Tweaks

  1. Once again, I am tweaking your “Delicious 1 serving Chicken Breast” … this time I decide on a twice baked potato to go with it, simply because I had ½ a baked potato to use, so decided that since I had to have the oven on anyway it was the perfect opportunity do make a twice baked potato (some call it a potato boat because of the added vegetables). I set the oven to 450, while waiting for it to heat, I gentle removed the center of my baked potato so that I didn’t tear the outer skin of the potato, I took the potato and in a bowl gentle added 1oz. (each) finely chopped carrots, mini yellow bell pepper, zucchini, and broccoli florets, this gave me the filling for my potato. Then using a shallow foil lined pan, I place the potato at one end of the pan, I had made small insert (forming it so that there were little side on the foil insert) so that when the time came I would have a way to put the chicken beside the potato) and not have the dripping mix with everything until I was ready to serve. I then put my potato on the left (see pic) and the small foil insert was empty but would be on the right) … covered the entire shallow pan with foil and put into the 450-degree oven. This would give my potato the 2nd baking it needed. And I then started preparing my chicken per the instructions. Once it was time to put chicken in oven I left the oven on and removed my pan… uncovered my potato boat so that I could access the other half of pan. At this point I turned off the oven leaving it closed, carefully placed chicken breast into the foil insert of my shallow baking dish… and added pan dripping to top of breast only. Replace foil across to of the whole baking dish and put into the oven per the instruction for the Delicious 1 serving Chicken Breast Recipe. After, 10 minutes I removed it from the oven and plated (see picture) … and it was once again a wonderful “pairing” of two awesome favorites” making this not only delicious but I had balance meal... my meat, vegetables and carbohydrates… everything that is required for “my personal dietary needs” …. Another SUCCESS meal… hope you don’t mind my tweaking it. But when I find something this versatile I just have to keep trying new things with it, so far, the star of the meal hasn’t let me or other that have tried it down… so far, I have come up with 7 different variations on this dish… and had 100% success…. I do believe that makes in a permit part of my recipe collection AND A HOME RUN with all my diners today… Now what more could any cook want (lol).

  2. wow.. I didn't realize that by sharing this with my nephew I be making it so often... I think I've discovered a new and apparently very popular seasoning for this family.... today nephew requested it again, so I used chicken drumsticks (with bone)... all we had, for someone that prefers dark meat... I posted the pic earlier before I noticed that the site offered an actual to make a comment & post the picture with it... Oh I did a bone-In version using think cut pork chop last night too, with out any thing else... was awesome as well.. except I forgot to take a picture of it.... so far I have made this dish and had 100% positive feedback from all diners... what else can I ask for...and it is really easy to make more then one serving. LOVE IT!!!
