Instructions

Step 1: Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and season both sides evenly with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
Step 2: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, then add the chicken breasts and cook for 5 minutes per side until golden brown, removing them from the skillet and setting aside.
Step 3: In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tbsp olive oil, minced garlic, 2 tbsp fresh thyme leaves, and 1 tbsp finely chopped rosemary, and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 4: Stir in 1 tbsp honey and 1 tbsp lemon juice, then return the chicken to the skillet, coating each piece in the sauce, and simmer for 2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and the chicken is cooked through.
