Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 cups chicken broth
Directions
Step 1
Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board. If the breasts are thick, use a sharp knife to slice them horizontally to create thinner pieces.
Step 2
In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, chopped rosemary, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to make a marinade.
Step 3
Coat the chicken breasts in the marinade, ensuring they are evenly coated. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for a deeper flavor).
Step 4
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add a tablespoon of olive oil to the pan.
Step 5
Once the skillet is hot, add the chicken breasts. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C).
Step 6
Pour the chicken broth into the skillet and reduce the heat to medium-low. Use a wooden spoon to scrape any browned bits from the bottom of the pan and create a light sauce.
Step 7
Simmer the chicken in the broth for 2-3 minutes to keep them moist and absorb additional flavor.
Step 8
Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve with the pan sauce drizzled on top, and garnish with additional rosemary if desired.
