Preheat your oven to 200°C.
In a bowl, combine zaatar, oil, crushed garlic, lemon juice, and zest to create a paste.
Spread the paste evenly over both sides of the chicken pieces.
Heat an oven-proof skillet on the stovetop. Once hot, place the chicken in the skillet, top side down, and let it sear untouched for 5 minutes. Then, flip each piece over and transfer the skillet into the preheated oven. Bake for 13 minutes.
Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the oven and allow it to rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Serve with your choice of rice, salad, or roasted vegetables.
