YIELD 4 servings

ACTIVE TIME 5 min

TOTAL TIME 30 min

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.
