Instructions

  1. Step 1: Pat dry 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts and season both sides evenly with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
  2. Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the chicken breasts and sear for 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature 165°F).
  3. Step 3: Remove chicken from skillet and set aside on a warm plate.
  4. Step 4: Reduce heat to medium and add 4 tbsp unsalted butter to the same skillet. Once melted, add 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tbsp finely chopped fresh rosemary, and 1 tbsp finely chopped fresh thyme.
  5. Step 5: Sauté the garlic and herbs in butter for 2 minutes until fragrant and bubbling, stirring constantly to avoid burning.
  6. Step 6: Stir in 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice and swirl to combine, then return the chicken breasts to the skillet.
  7. Step 7: Spoon the garlic herb butter sauce over the chicken and cook for an additional 2 minutes to coat and warm through.
  8. Step 8: Serve immediately with the garlic herb butter spooned generously over the chicken.
