Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
1 lemon, zested and juiced
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Fresh rosemary sprigs, for garnish
Instructions
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes on one side without moving, until golden brown.
Flip the chicken breasts and add minced garlic and chopped rosemary to the skillet. Cook for another 5 minutes.
Add lemon zest, lemon juice, and chicken broth to the skillet. Reduce heat to medium and let simmer for 8-10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove the chicken from the skillet and place on a serving plate. Stir the butter into the skillet sauce until melted and smooth.
Pour the sauce over the chicken breasts and garnish with fresh rosemary sprigs before serving.
