Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. (The internal temperature should reach 165°F/75°C.) Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the honey, fresh rosemary, chicken broth, and lemon juice.
Allow the mixture to simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened slightly.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet and spoon the sauce over them. Let the chicken simmer in the sauce for an additional 5 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Remove the skillet from the heat and serve the Honey Rosemary Chicken warm, garnished with extra rosemary if desired.
