Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, thyme, and rosemary on both sides.
  2. In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat.
  3. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 6-7 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.

  6. Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spoon the garlic butter sauce over the top, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  7. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.

  • This recipe pairs well with mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables.
  • Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) for safety.
