Savory seasonings and a quick sear make this easy baked chicken delicious. It is a great meal to double and serve half for dinner and chop and freeze the other half—cooked chicken in the freezer makes soups, stews, casseroles, and stir fry quick and easy.
If you have an oven-safe skillet, this can go straight into the oven after searing without changing pans. You may want to add a little extra olive oil to avoid burning if you are baking it in the same skillet you use for searing.
