4️⃣ Sear the chicken: Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear each side for 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
5️⃣ Bake: Transfer skillet to oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
6️⃣ Serve & enjoy! Remove toothpicks, garnish with fresh parsley, and pair with your favorite sides.
