1-Getting started with rosemary chicken is straightforward and fun. First, prepare your chicken by seasoning 1 1/4 pounds of boneless, skinless chicken breasts with salt and pepper. This sets the base for great flavor right away.

2-Next, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken until it’s browned on both sides. This step, which takes about 3-4 minutes per side, adds a nice crust and depth. Then, mix up the sauce with 3 tablespoons of melted butter, 1 1/4 teaspoons of minced garlic, 2 teaspoons of minced fresh rosemary leaves, 1/4 cup of chicken broth, and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice.

3-Transfer the seared chicken to a dish coated with cooking spray and pour the sauce over it. Bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 25 minutes or until the internal temperature hits 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Let it rest a bit, then garnish with 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh parsley, and add optional lemon slices and rosemary sprigs for extra appeal.

4-Follow these steps for the best results, and remember to use chicken breasts of similar size for even cooking. The whole process takes around 40 minutes, making it ideal for busy nights. For a refreshing drink to go with it, check out similar flavor ideas in our collection.
