You can skip the 12 spices on the counter and just go straight for this one—it’s got it all, and it’s about to make your chicken the star of the show.
Now, let’s talk herbs. There’s something magical about fresh herbs—they bring life to a dish like a good punchline brings life to a joke. Fresh cilantro, parsley, and dill are about to turn your chicken from a basic protein to a flavor-packed masterpiece. Plus, fresh herbs aren’t just pretty—they’re packed with nutrients that help with digestion, immunity, and even fighting inflammation. And when you’re busy, who has time for anything but easy and healthy, right?
So, here’s how to make the best herby chicken breast of your life with a little help from Made by Madi Chicken Seasoning:
Ingredients:
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tbsp olive oil (or whatever oil makes your heart sing)
- 3 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped (fresh cilantro adds a burst of citrusy goodness)
- 3 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (fresh parsley is like a breath of fresh air in every bite)
- 2 tbsp fresh dill, chopped (because dill is underrated and deserves more love)
- 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced (if you use jarlic, I'm judging you)
- ¼ yellow onion, minced
- ¼ cup Trader Joe's Cilantro Dressing (optional)
- 1 tbsp Made by Madi Chicken Seasoning
- Salt and pepper, to taste (seasoning is your friend, not the enemy)
- A squeeze of lemon juice
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F. Get your oven hot and ready.
2. Prep the chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel to get rid of any excess moisture (moist chicken = sad chicken). Season both sides generously with salt, pepper, and the magic that is Made by Madi Chicken Seasoning. Don’t hold back—this seasoning is made for the bold.
3. Make your herby mixture: In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, cilantro, parsley, dill, garlic, onion, cilantro dressing, and lemon juice. Stir it all together until you have a fragrant, fresh paste. You can throw everything in the food processor if you're feeling lazy or pressed for time.
4. Coat the chicken: Rub ½ of the fresh herb mixture all over the chicken breasts. Get every inch coated—because the more herb love, the better. For added flavor, pierce the chicken breast with a fork multiple times so the flavor really gets in there.
5. Sear the chicken: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, and add a little olive oil. When it’s hot, add the chicken breasts and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until you’ve got that beautiful, golden-brown crust.
6. Finish in the oven: Transfer the skillet to your preheated oven. Let it bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature hits 165°F (because no one likes dry chicken). Some of the herb mixture will be burned, but that's okay. That's why we saved half of it.
7. Let the chicken rest: Once your chicken is cooked to perfection, let it rest for 5 minutes. This is important! Resting lets all those juices settle back in, so you don’t end up with dry chicken. It’s like letting a good wine breathe—give it a moment to shine.
8. Finish with the remaining herb mixture for that extra pop of freshness. You’ll be so glad you did.
Why Fresh Herbs are the Real MVPs:
Fresh herbs are like nature’s secret weapon in the kitchen. Not only do they add vibrant color and taste, but they also bring a bunch of health benefits. Fresh herbs like cilantro and parsley are packed with antioxidants that fight inflammation and support digestion, while dill has antimicrobial properties. So, while your chicken is getting all dressed up in herbs, your body is getting a little health boost, too. It’s the best of both worlds!
And let’s not forget the flavor factor. Fresh herbs have oils that are just bursting with natural, zesty notes. It’s like your chicken got a vacation to flavor-town, and who wouldn’t want that?
