Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 lemon, sliced and juiced
  • 1 cup broccoli florets

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Season chicken thighs with salt, pepper, and oregano.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken for 3–4 minutes per side until golden.
