Ingredients

• 4 pieces Chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon Dried rosemary
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 0.5 cup Chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken breasts and sear them for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to medium and add butter to the skillet. Once melted, stir in the minced garlic, dried thyme, and dried rosemary. Cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently, until fragrant.

Step 4

Deglaze the skillet by adding chicken broth and lemon juice. Scrape any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet and stir to combine.

Step 5

Return the chicken breasts to the skillet. Cover and simmer over medium-low heat for 15-18 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 6

Remove the chicken from the skillet and transfer to a serving platter. Increase the heat to medium-high and let the sauce reduce slightly, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 7

Stir in chopped fresh parsley. Taste the sauce and adjust seasonings if needed.

Step 8

Pour the herb-infused sauce over the chicken and serve immediately. Garnish with additional parsley if desired.
