Pan Roasted Herbed Chicken is a delicately flavored chicken entree that’s tasty and completely satisfying. I love trying out new chicken recipes, especially those using whole pieces of chicken rather than shredded or bite-sized cut-up chicken pieces. I’m always on the hunt for fresh, new and exciting ways to eat chicken since we eat so much of it. Pan Roasted Herbed Chicken was one of those recent finds that turned out incredibly tasty. It’s made with very simple clean-eating ingredients, but packs a really great taste.

My husband is a white meat eater, and I prefer dark meat so 99% of the time I make chicken dishes using boneless, skinless chicken breasts because he rarely eats anything else. But every now and then I get a hunger for dark meat and make up something just for me. This was one of those dishes. 🙂 I served it with my delicious Zucchini Parmesan Crisps and both were delectable.

This is a great dish to make in a cast iron skillet because you can take it from stove top to the oven without any difficulty. Enameled cast iron skillets are great too. I chose to use a regular skillet and bake the chicken in a baking dish, but if you have cast iron or another oven proof skillet, that’s the way to go without dirtying up a lot of dishes.

This chicken dish can easily be made with a whole, cut-up chicken, or any pieces of the chicken your family likes to eat. If you like wings, make the dish with wings! I made it with chicken thighs because I found a good deal on them at the store.

If you’re looking for a tasty chicken entree that’s easy and inexpensive, then you need to put Pan Roasted Herbed Chicken on your radar. Since this entree bakes part of the time in the oven, you can use that time to prepare a side dish or salad and have everything ready in about an hour. Healthy, easy, gluten free, low calorie, yum!

Pour olive oil into a glass baking dish. Add poultry seasoning, salt and garlic powder. Whisk to combine. (You can also put this directly into your cast iron skillet and prepare it without this extra step).

Dredge chicken pieces in olive oil mixture and coat both sides well.

Equipment

  • 1 large skillet
  • 1 9x13" glass baking dish
  • 1 whisk
  • 1 spatula
  • measuring cups
  • measuring spoons

Ingredients
  

  • 4-6 bone-in chicken thighs with skin
  • 1/4 cup olive oil plus more for searing chicken
  • 1 tsp. poultry seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 tsp. fresh thyme for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Pour ¼ cup olive oil in a 9x13” glass baking dish.
  • Add poultry seasoning, salt and garlic powder and whisk to combine.
  • Dredge chicken thighs in mixture making sure that chicken pieces are well coated.
  • Heat a few tablespoons of olive oil in a large 12” skillet on medium high heat.
  • Add dredged chicken pieces and sear on each side about 3-4 minutes.
  • Remove chicken pieces to baking dish.
  • Pour chicken broth over top of chicken.
  • Bake at 400° an additional 30-40 minutes or until chicken tests done.
  • Sprinkle with fresh or dried thyme before serving.

Notes

NOTE: You can also use an oven-proof skillet like a cast-iron pan or enameled cast-iron and use only one dish instead of two.
 
NOTE: I think you can eliminate some of the olive oil by pouring the olive oil with seasonings into your skillet to begin with. There’s still plenty of olive oil left to sear the chicken without adding more.
