Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary leaves, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 4 pieces Fresh rosemary sprigs (for garnish, optional)
Directions
Step 1
Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and paprika on both sides.
Step 2
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 3
Place the chicken breasts in the skillet and cook for 6-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C). Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside, tented with foil to keep warm.
Step 4
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to low and add the unsalted butter. Allow it to melt gently.
Step 5
Stir in the minced garlic and chopped rosemary leaves, cooking for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 6
Add the honey and lemon zest to the skillet, stirring to combine. Cook for another 1-2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Step 7
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the rosemary honey butter over each piece to coat them generously. Let the chicken heat through, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 8
Transfer the chicken to serving plates and drizzle any remaining sauce from the skillet over the top.
Step 9
Garnish with fresh rosemary sprigs if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
