Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 4 Boneless Chicken Breasts
  • 3 tbsp. Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 4 tbsp. Butter
  • 1 Lemon, juice and zest
  • 2 tbsp. Chopped Fresh Basil
  • Kosher Salt & Black Pepper, to taste

Instruction

  • Start by adding the oil to a large skillet. Allow the oil to heat over medium high heat, season your chicken with salt and pepper; then add it to the pan. 
  • Cook the chicken 5-7 minutes per side allowing it to brown on both sides; cooking it mostly through. (Time may vary depending on the thickness of your chicken breast. Mine were pretty thick and took approximately 13 minutes.)
  • Next, add the butter, lemon juice and zest and chopped fresh basil to the pan. Allow the butter to melt and mix with the herbs; then reduce the heat to low, cover the pan and cook for another 15-20 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the middle.
