Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 9

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

Steps:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees and grease a baking sheet or large casserole dish.
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.
In a small bowl whisk together chicken broth, lemon juice, honey, garlic, Italian seasoning, and salt and pepper.
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.
Garnish with fresh rosemary and lemon slices if desired and serve.

Ingredients

3 to 4 pounds chicken parts (thighs and legs recommended), skin-on, bone-in, trimmed of excess fat
4 teaspoons lemon zest (about zest from 2 lemons)
1/3 cup lemon juice
2 cloves garlic, crushed
2 tablespoons fresh chopped thyme (or 2 teaspoons dried)
2 teaspoons fresh chopped rosemary (or 1/2 teaspoon dried)
1 teaspoon Kosher salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons melted butter
Lemon slices for garnish

Steps:

Let the chicken rest: Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest, covered in foil, for 10 minutes before serving.
Save meat juices to serve with chicken: Pour the juices from the pan into a serving bowl. Use a tablespoon to skim the fat off the top (save the fat for cooking with later, or discard, but do not discard down the drain or it will solidify and clog your drain). Serve the chicken with the juices on the side or a little poured over the top of the chicken. Serve alone, or with steamed rice , buttered noodles , angel hair pasta , or mashed potatoes .
