Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and black pepper.
Step 2
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 3
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. (The internal temperature should reach 165°F/75°C.) Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Step 4
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 5
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the honey, fresh rosemary, chicken broth, and lemon juice.
Step 6
Allow the mixture to simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened slightly.
Step 7
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet and spoon the sauce over them. Let the chicken simmer in the sauce for an additional 5 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Step 8
Remove the skillet from the heat and serve the Honey Rosemary Chicken warm, garnished with extra rosemary if desired.
