Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 whole lemon, juiced
- 0.5 cup chicken broth (paleo-approved)
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Start by patting the chicken breasts dry with paper towels to ensure a good sear.
Season the chicken breasts with sea salt and black pepper on both sides.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot.
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet in a single layer and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Stir in the chopped rosemary and cook for another 30 seconds.
Add the lemon juice and chicken broth to the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
Return the chicken to the skillet, reduce the heat to medium-low, and let it simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Serve the Sauteed Chicken hot with your choice of Paleo-approved side dishes, such as vegetable medley or cauliflower rice.
