Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 2 sprigs Fresh rosemary
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
Step 2
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken breasts and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Step 3
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium-low and add the butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Step 4
Pour in the chicken broth and scrape the bottom of the skillet to deglaze it, incorporating any browned bits for extra flavor.
Step 5
Add the heavy cream and stir until combined. Let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes to thicken slightly.
Step 6
Add the fresh rosemary sprigs to the sauce and continue simmering for another 3-4 minutes, allowing the flavors to infuse.
Step 7
Stir in the lemon juice for a touch of brightness. Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Step 8
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the rosemary sauce over the top. Allow the chicken to warm through for 2-3 minutes.
Step 9
Serve the chicken hot, topped with the rosemary sauce. This dish pairs beautifully with mashed potatoes, rice, or sautéed vegetables.
