Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped
  • 2 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. Gather all ingredients. Finely chop the garlic and zest the lemons.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Add chicken breasts and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with a bit of oil. Sear the marinated chicken for about 5-6 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  4. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside. In the same pan, add chicken broth and soy sauce, scraping up any flavorful bits.
  5. Stir in honey and red pepper flakes; simmer gently for about 5 minutes until thickened.
  6. Return chicken to the skillet; spoon sauce over it and simmer for an additional 5-10 minutes until fully cooked through.
