If you don't have time to marinate your chicken, this Quick Rosemary Lemon Chicken is the ticket. By pounding the lemon, garlic, rosemary mixture into the chicken before cooking, it adds a lot of flavor and is ready in no time. You can use any herbs you like and serve it on pasta, rice, or with potatoes.

  • Prep: 5 mins
  • Cook: 15 mins
  • Yields: 4 Servings

Ingredients

2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts, sliced in half lengthwise to create 4 even pieces


1 tablespoon olive oil

juice of 1 lemon

Rosemary Lemon Mixture

a few sprigs of fresh rosemary, roughly chopped

1 clove garlic, minced

zest of 1 lemon

salt and pepper, to taste

Directions

1On a large sheet of wax paper add half the rosemary lemon mixture. Place the chicken breasts on top, then coat the top side of the breasts with the other half of the mixture. Pound and flatten the chicken with a rolling pin or meat pounder to about ¼-inch thick.

2Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken to pan; cook until well browned and cooked through, about 5 to 6 minutes on each side. Remove chicken from pan. Sprinkle with lemon juice and serve over rice, pasta or with potatoes.

I usually say salt and pepper to taste. You can always add more! I would use about a teaspoon of dried rosemary.
