- 2 tsp lemon zest
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1/4 cup butter (60g)
Instruction
- Preheat your oven to 400°F
- Season both sides of the chicken pieces with salt and pepper. If the breast pieces are very large you can cut them in half to make them thinner.
- In a large cast-iron skillet heat olive oil over medium heat and brown chicken evenly on both sides, you do not need to fully cook it at this point.
- Place the browned chicken on a sheet pan or in an oven proof baking dish and bake for about 15 minutes or until a thermometer reads 165°F
- In the same skillet you cooked the chicken in add the chopped shallot and chopped fresh rosemary, and cook for a few minutes over a medium heat.
- Add the chicken broth and bring to a boil, deglaze the pan, then reduce the heat and simmer until the broth is reduced by half.
- Reduce the heat to low and add lemon zest and lemon juice.
- Add the butter 1 tablespoon at a time, whisking continuously until the sauce is creamy.
- Spoon sauce over the chicken pieces and serve hot.
