Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 2 sprigs Fresh rosemary
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken breasts and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium-low and add the butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Pour in the chicken broth and scrape the bottom of the skillet to deglaze it, incorporating any browned bits for extra flavor.
Add the heavy cream and stir until combined. Let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes to thicken slightly.
Add the fresh rosemary sprigs to the sauce and continue simmering for another 3-4 minutes, allowing the flavors to infuse.
Stir in the lemon juice for a touch of brightness. Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the rosemary sauce over the top. Allow the chicken to warm through for 2-3 minutes.
Serve the chicken hot, topped with the rosemary sauce. This dish pairs beautifully with mashed potatoes, rice, or sautéed vegetables.
