Ingredients

• 2 teaspoons lemon-pepper seasoning
• 2 tablespoons avocado oil, or as needed
• 4 (7 ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
• 0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Combine lemon-pepper, oregano, and pepper in a small bowl; pour onto a plate.

Step 3

Pour 1 to 2 tablespoons avocado oil into the bottom of a skillet, just enough to cover the bottom, and heat over medium-high heat until it shimmers.

Step 4

Dredge both sides of the chicken in the seasoning and place into the shimmering oil. Sear until golden, about 3 minutes on each side. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 12 to 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
