Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

Pat chicken breasts dry with paper towels.

Season chicken breasts generously with salt and black pepper.

Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.

Add chicken breasts skin-side down and sear until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.

Flip chicken breasts and add garlic, rosemary, and thyme to the skillet.

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C), about 15-20 minutes.

Remove skillet from oven and add butter and lemon juice to the pan.

Baste the chicken with the melted butter and juices for added flavor.

Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Serve with pan juices drizzled over the top.
