Ingredients

• 4 pieces chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
• 2 tablespoons Herbes de Provence
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 pieces garlic cloves (minced)
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 0.5 cup chicken broth (low-sodium)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)
• 1 tablespoon butter (unsalted)
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Season the chicken breasts with 1 tablespoon of Herbes de Provence, salt, and black pepper on both sides.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Deglaze the skillet by adding the chicken broth, scraping the bottom to release any browned bits. Add the lemon juice, remaining 1 tablespoon of Herbes de Provence, and stir to combine.

Step 5

Return the chicken breasts to the skillet. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 6

Stir in the butter to add richness to the sauce and spoon it over the chicken.

Step 7

Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Serve warm with your choice of side dishes, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
