Rosemary Chicken
Description
This Rosemary Chicken recipe begins by seasoning the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then browning them in olive oil to develop a golden crust. The browned chicken is placed in a baking dish and topped with a sauce made of melted butter mixed with minced rosemary, garlic, chicken broth, and lemon juice.
The chicken bakes in this sauce until cooked through, which usually takes about 25 minutes but depends on thickness. The butter and broth mixture helps retain moisture and infuses the meat with herbal and citrus notes.
Once baked, the sauce in the baking dish is spooned over the chicken and the dish is garnished with fresh parsley and optional lemon slices and rosemary sprigs. This chicken pairs well with steamed vegetables, rice, or potatoes for a balanced meal.
