Ingredients

Directions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and place rack in centre of oven.

  2. Step 2

    Place chicken on a cutting board. Sprinkle with half the flour and black pepper.

  3. Step 3

    Place a 10-inch (25 cm) cast iron skillet (or any ovenproof skillet) over medium-high heat. Add canola oil. When hot, add chicken, flour-side down. Sprinkle top of chicken with remaining flour and black pepper. Cook chicken on each side for about 3 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Add garlic and cook for 2 minutes until lightly browned. Stir in chicken stock, lemon juice, lemon zest and thyme. Remove from heat and transfer skillet to oven.

  5. Step 5

    Roast for 15-20 minutes, until a meat thermometer registers 165°F (74°C) in thickest part of breast. Remove from oven and top with chopped parsley, if desired. Serve with steamed brown rice, wild rice, quinoa or barley and steamed vegetables or a green salad.
