Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger
- 2 pieces garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup chicken stock
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Instructions
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Peel and finely chop the garlic cloves. Grate the fresh ginger with a microplane grater.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium-low and add the garlic, ginger, thyme leaves, and rosemary. Saute for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
Deglaze the skillet by pouring in the chicken stock, scraping up any browned bits with a wooden spoon, and stirring to combine.
Let the sauce simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and slightly reduce.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet and spoon the sauce over them. Cook for another 1-2 minutes to reheat and coat the chicken in the flavors.
Remove from heat, sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley, and drizzle with a small splash of lemon juice for brightness.
Serve warm with your choice of sides, such as steamed vegetables or a light salad.
