Recipe type: Main Dish

Cuisine: American / Italian

Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts


• 3 tablespoons butter


• ⅓ cup chicken broth


• 4 tablespoons fresh lemon juice


• 1 tablespoon honey


• 2 teaspoons minced garlic


• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning


• salt and pepper to taste (I used 1 teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper)


• optional: fresh rosemary and lemon slices for garnish

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees and grease a baking sheet or large casserole dish.


2. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook chicken 2-3 minutes on each side just until browned. Transfer chicken to prepared baking sheet.


3. In a small bowl whisk together chicken broth, lemon juice, honey, garlic, Italian seasoning, and salt and pepper.


4. Pour sauce over chicken. Bake 20-30 minutes (closer to 20 for smaller chicken breasts, closer to 30 for larger) until chicken is cooked through. Every 5-10 minutes spoon the sauce from the pan over the chicken.


5. Garnish with fresh rosemary and lemon slices if desired and serve.
