Ingredients

• 4 pieces Chicken breasts
• 2 sprigs Fresh rosemary
• 4 pieces Garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons Fresh ginger
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 0.25 cups Chicken broth

Directions

Step 1

Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels, then season them on both sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

Peel and mince the garlic cloves, and grate the fresh ginger. Set them aside.

Step 3

Heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Add the chicken breasts to the skillet. Sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown, then remove them from the pan and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, stirring constantly to avoid burning.

Step 6

Strip the leaves from the rosemary sprigs and add them to the skillet. Stir for another 30 seconds.

Step 7

Add the chicken broth and lemon juice to the skillet, deglazing the pan by scraping up any browned bits from the bottom with a wooden spoon.

Step 8

Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning some of the sauce over them. Cover with a lid and let simmer for 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 9

Once cooked, remove the chicken breasts from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes.

Step 10

Serve the chicken hot, drizzled with the rosemary garlic and ginger sauce from the skillet.
