  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Season the chicken breasts generously on both sides with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 3-5 minutes on each side or until browned.
  3. Transfer the chicken to a baking dish coated with cooking spray. 
  4. In a small bowl, mix together the rosemary, butter, garlic, chicken broth and lemon juice. Pour the butter mixture over the chicken.
