Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup Chardonnay
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Preparation

Start by preparing the marinade. In a small bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper. Rub the mixture evenly over the chicken breasts. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, pour the Chardonnay into a saucepan and bring to a gentle simmer. Add lemon juice and cook until slightly reduced, about 5 minutes. Set aside.

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken breasts. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and golden brown.

Remove the chicken from the skillet and let rest for a few minutes. Serve the chicken with a drizzle of the Chardonnay sauce on top.

Serving Suggestions

This garlic and herb chicken pairs beautifully with roasted vegetables, a fresh green salad, or creamy mashed potatoes. The Chardonnay complements the herbs and garlic, enhancing the flavors of the dish.
