Ingredients:
- 680 g Chicken Breasts (boneless, skinless)
- 1 tsp Sea salt
- 1/2 tsp Cracked black pepper
- 2 tbsp Avocado oil
- 6 cloves Fresh garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp Fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp Fresh thyme leaves
- 2 tbsp Fresh Italian parsley
- 45 g Grass-fed butter
- 0.5 unit Fresh lemon, juiced
- 60 ml Low-sodium chicken bone broth
Instructions:
- Pat the 680 g of chicken breasts completely dry with paper towels. Note: Moisture on the surface creates steam, which prevents the golden crust from forming. Season both sides generously with sea salt and cracked black pepper.
- Heat 30 ml of avocado oil in your skillet over medium high heat until it shimmers. Place the chicken in the pan. Cook for 4-5 minutes without moving them until a deep golden crust forms and the meat releases easily from the pan.
- Flip the chicken and cook for another 4 minutes. Ensure the internal temperature has reached 74°C.
- Reduce heat to medium. Move the chicken to one side of the pan and add the 45 g of butter, minced garlic, rosemary, and thyme to the empty space. Sizzle for 1 minute until the garlic is fragrant and the butter begins to foam.
- Tilt the pan slightly so the herb butter pools. Use a large spoon to continuously pour the hot butter over the chicken for 2 minutes. This arroser technique cooks the top of the meat and infuses it with flavor.
- Pour in the 60 ml of chicken bone broth and the lemon juice. Use a wooden spoon to scrape up the brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Simmer for 2 minutes until the liquid reduces by half and looks silky.
- Remove the skillet from the heat. Note: Resting is vital for the fibers to relax and reabsorb the juices.
- Garnish with fresh Italian parsley and an extra squeeze of lemon if you like it tangy. Serve immediately while the sauce is still shimmering and warm.
