Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel. Season both sides with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, place the chicken breasts in the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium. Add the butter to the skillet and let it melt. Stir in the fresh thyme and rosemary, allowing the herbs to infuse the butter for 1 minute.
Pour in the chicken broth and lemon juice. Stir well, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet to deglaze the pan.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet. Spoon the herbed sauce over the chicken and cover the skillet with a lid.
Cook for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and registers an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Remove the skillet from heat and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes. Serve warm, spooning additional sauce over the chicken if desired.
