Cooking Steps

Step 1

In a bowl, mix together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts and marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, shaking off any excess. Reserve the marinade.

Step 3

Place the chicken breasts in the hot skillet and sear for about 5-6 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 4

Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside. Add the reserved marinade to the skillet and bring to a simmer. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until slightly reduced.

Step 5

Return the chicken breasts to the skillet and spoon the lemon-herb sauce over them. Simmer for another 5 minutes, allowing the chicken to absorb the flavors of the sauce.

Step 6

Garnish with fresh parsley or lemon slices, if desired. Serve hot with your favorite side dishes, such as roasted vegetables, rice, or pasta.

Step 7

Serve immediately and enjoy!
