Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts, sliced into even cutlets
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 5 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 1/2 cup chicken broth or dry white wine
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. This is crucial for getting a good sear. Season both sides of the chicken cutlets generously with salt and black pepper.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the chicken to the pan. Cook for about 5 to 7 minutes per side until they are golden brown and reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
- Reduce the skillet heat to medium. Add the butter to the same pan. Once melted, stir in the minced garlic, rosemary, and thyme. Sauté for about 1 minute until the garlic is fragrant but not browned.
- Pour in the chicken broth or white wine. Use a wooden spoon to scrape up all the brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Let the liquid simmer for 2 to 3 minutes until it reduces slightly.
- Return the chicken and any accumulated juices back into the skillet. Spoon the garlic herb butter sauce over the chicken. Stir in the lemon juice and cook for 1 more minute to heat everything through.
- Remove from heat and sprinkle with fresh parsley. Serve immediately while the sauce is warm and the chicken is juicy.
