Garlic Chicken is more than just a meal; it's an experience that tantalizes the taste buds and warms the heart. This dish, infused with the rich, aromatic essence of garlic, has become a staple in various cuisines worldwide, from Italian to Asian.
In a bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper. Whisk together until well blended.
Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the butter and allow it to melt and bubble.
Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting any excess drip off. Place the chicken in the hot skillet. Cook for 6-7 minutes on one side until golden brown, then flip and lower the heat to medium, cooking for another 6-7 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Add any leftover marinade to the pan, cooking for another minute to reduce slightly.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for about 5 minutes.
Slice the chicken or serve whole, garnished with fresh parsley.
