Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Heat 2 tablespoons of 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 until golden brown and fully cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.
Add the chopped rosemary, thyme, and lemon zest to the skillet. Stir well to combine the flavors.
Pour in the chicken broth and fresh lemon juice. Bring the mixture to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits on the bottom of the skillet.
Let the sauce simmer for 3-4 minutes, allowing it to reduce slightly.
Add the unsalted butter to the skillet and stir until melted and combined into the sauce.
Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the herb and lemon sauce over them.
Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the chicken is warmed through and coated in the sauce.
Sprinkle fresh parsley over the dish before serving for a fragrant and colorful garnish.
Serve hot with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
