Instructions

Step 1: Pat dry 2 chicken breasts (6 oz each) and season both sides with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking, about 2 minutes.
Step 3: Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and sear for 5 minutes without moving until the edges are golden and crispy.
Step 4: Flip the chicken and add 3 minced garlic cloves and 2 sprigs of fresh rosemary to the pan; continue cooking for 5 more minutes, spooning the garlic and rosemary-infused oil over the chicken until cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Step 5: Remove the chicken from the skillet and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
