Instructions
Preparation
- In a bowl, mix lemon juice, lemon zest, olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
- Place the chicken breasts in the marinade and let them soak for at least 15 minutes.
Cooking
- Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a little olive oil.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade and cook in the skillet for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown.
Serving

Notes
Allow the chicken to marinate longer for a stronger lemon flavor. Make sure the skillet is hot enough before adding the chicken to get a nice sear. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
