Ingredients

• 4 pieces chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
• 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel. Season both sides with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, place the chicken breasts in the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to medium. Add the butter to the skillet and let it melt. Stir in the fresh thyme and rosemary, allowing the herbs to infuse the butter for 1 minute.

Step 4

Pour in the chicken broth and lemon juice. Stir well, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet to deglaze the pan.

Step 5

Return the chicken breasts to the skillet. Spoon the herbed sauce over the chicken and cover the skillet with a lid.

Step 6

Cook for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and registers an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 7

Remove the skillet from heat and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes. Serve warm, spooning additional sauce over the chicken if desired.
