Ingredients
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 ½ lb)
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- ½ c all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, divided
- 1 shallot, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ¾ c low sodium chicken broth
- 2 small sprigs rosemary
- 2 tbsp lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 1 tbsp cold salted butter
Directions
Season chicken with salt and pepper. Lightly dredge in flour to coat, shaking to remove excess.
In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 tbsp oil over medium high heat. Add chicken and cook 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Transfer chicken to plate and set aside. Add remaining oil to skillet and cook shallot and garlic until soft, about 2-3 minutes. Add chicken broth, using a wooden spoon to scrape up browned bits from bottom of skillet. Return chicken and any accumulated juices to the pan. Add rosemary to sauce and bring to a simmer. Cook until the liquid has reduced to ½ c and chicken is cooked through, about 7 minutes.
Transfer chicken to a cutting board to rest. Turn off heat and add lemon juice and cold butter and season to taste with salt and pepper, to taste. Stir the sauce as butter melts to create an emulsified sauce. Slice chicken on the bias and place on serving platter. Pour sauce over chicken and serve immediately.

This is a great recipe for the summer months.
Very easy to make. Delicious!
Quick, light & flavorful! Perfect to cook on a weeknight after work.
Easy recipe and whole family loved it
Nice. Easy and delicious.
Yum. My husband and I loved it.
Easy to fix and great tasting!
AWESOME quick,easy and delishiness!
Loved it, but to be sure my chicken was cooked thru I put the pan juices over the chicken in a baking dish instead of the chicken back in the pan and popped it in a preheated 350 degree oven for 20 minutes till chicken was thoroughly cooked thru...I added a bit more stock to compensate for evaporation (this made the sauce richer and better) and for more pan sauce....Great Recipe.
Excellent and easy
This was awesome, the chicken was so moist and the flavor was incredible. Quick and easy.
This recipe was easy and had a lot of flavor. Next time I will use chicken cutlets, as The Fresh Market chicken breasts took more than twice the prescribed time to cook all the way through.
Delicious and easy to prepare!!
Fantastic comfort food! Im serving atop mixed quinoa with roasted veggies!
So easy and tasty! Can also pound the chicken pieces to flatten for quicker cooking.
Fabulous, I'll make it again for sure.
This is a wonderfully fresh meal to serve along with Angel hair pasta and steamed fresh green beans. I always sprinkle some dried oregano over chicken before slicing. Easy recipe to double.
My husband loved this recipe! I loved it for two reasons, first it was so easy to make and second it was delicious.
Easy dish with ingredients most people have on hand.
Delicious recipe! The chicken was so moist and tender and the sauce so good. Next time I will make it with more sauce!
Excellent way to make chicken breast tender and tasty.
This recipe is great! Very flavorful & does not require a lot of time. Would be a great main course for dinner guests :)
Delicious! So fresh and clean in flavor! Healthy! Chicken is so moist! One of our new favorite recipe to make!
Fairly easy and delicious!
This is a wonderful recipe! Easy to make, and the lemon & rosemary are perfect with chicken!
This is such an easy and wonderful dish. I tend to double the sauce since it is so good and pour that over the rice I make to accompany the chicken.
This was easy and delicious!
Wow delicious and fresh tasting. I paired with sauteed cauliflower rice and garlic.
Tasted DELICIOUS!!! Best chicken recipe and easy to make.
I’ve tried recipes with this same flavor profile dozen of times-they come and go-but this one is a keeper. It’s a foolproof recipe if you like lemon and rosemary with chicken.
Great recipe! My chicken needed a little longer to cook and maybe a tad more lemon. Would be great with rice on the side!
This was amazing! Easy too. I’ve made it a few times now. It has become a easy recipe that tastes great. I usually want all the meat to be marinaded before I make them. This recipe is my go to if I used all my marinaded meats. Definitely a favorite for a fast delicious meal.
Delicious, quick and easy. I didn't have Rosemary so I substituted parsley. I also let it cook in the liquid for 10 minutes. A real keeper. Thanks!
Yummy!
This was a hit. Easy and relatively quick, and very delicious. It will be in the week night repertoire.
Delicious! Sauce was sensational. Family loved it. Gotta love a one pan meal. Definitely one to do again!
This is my favorite lemon chicken recipe. It is quick, but very tasteful. I used to live in Florida where there was a fresh market right around the corner, now I live in Minnesota but I still use this recipe! I miss Fresh Market!!!!
elegant easy meal
