Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Dried rosemary
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 0.5 cup Chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and black pepper.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken breasts and sear them for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium and add butter to the skillet. Once melted, stir in the minced garlic, dried thyme, and dried rosemary. Cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently, until fragrant.
Deglaze the skillet by adding chicken broth and lemon juice. Scrape any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet and stir to combine.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet. Cover and simmer over medium-low heat for 15-18 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Remove the chicken from the skillet and transfer to a serving platter. Increase the heat to medium-high and let the sauce reduce slightly, about 2-3 minutes.
Stir in chopped fresh parsley. Taste the sauce and adjust seasonings if needed.
Pour the herb-infused sauce over the chicken and serve immediately. Garnish with additional parsley if desired.
