Easy Lemon Rosemary Chicken with Garlic

Rosemary Chicken (Easy)

Ingredients:

• 2 chicken breast fillets
• 2 cloves garlic, minced or finely chopped
• 1.5 tablespoons lemon or lime juice
• Salt, to taste
• Black pepper, to taste
• Rosemary powder, to taste
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• Optional: a touch of honey for a golden finish

Instructions:

1. Marinate the Chicken:

   • Rub the chicken breasts with lemon or lime juice, salt, black pepper, and rosemary powder. Ensure the chicken is evenly coated with the seasonings.

2. Chill:

   • Place the seasoned chicken breasts and minced garlic into a plastic bag or container. Seal tightly and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

3. Cook:

   • Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken breasts to the skillet and cook until fully cooked and golden brown, about 5-7 minutes per side depending on thickness.

4. Serve:

   • Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve with your favorite vegetables or side dishes.

Tip:

• For a beautifully golden and slightly sweet finish, brush the chicken with a small amount of honey during the last few minutes of cooking. This will give the chicken an appealing golden-brown color.
