Instructions

Step 1: Pat dry 2 chicken breasts and season both sides evenly with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Step 2: Add chicken breasts to the skillet and sear for 5-6 minutes on each side until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F, then transfer to a plate to rest.
Step 3: Reduce heat to medium, add 4 minced garlic cloves and 1 tsp chopped fresh thyme to the same skillet, sauté for 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.
Step 4: Pour in 1/2 cup chicken broth and 1 tbsp lemon juice, scraping the browned bits off the pan bottom with a wooden spoon. Simmer for 3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Step 5: Remove from heat and stir in 1 tbsp unsalted butter until melted and sauce is glossy. Return chicken breasts to the pan and spoon sauce over them before serving.
