Ingredients:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup white wine (optional)
1 tablespoon butter
Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions:
Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts generously with salt, pepper, and the dried oregano and thyme.
Sear the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Sauté Aromatics: In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium. Add minced garlic and chopped rosemary, cooking until fragrant (about 1 minute).
Deglaze the Pan: Pour in the chicken broth and white wine (if using), scraping up any bits from the bottom of the skillet.
Finish the Dish: Return the chicken to the skillet. Add lemon juice and zest, then simmer for an additional 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Stir in butter to finish the sauce.
Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
