I bought some fresh rosemary to try, and made up this recipe to go with it. For once I got the chicken cooked just right - not overdone, and it was so juicy and tender!

Ingredients

  • 2 - boneless chicken breasts
  • 4 tablespoons lemon juice, fresh
  • 2 tablespoons seasoned oil (or olive oil)
  • 1/8 cup chinese rice wine or sherry
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped (divided)
  • 2 tablespoons minced shallot

How To Make lemon rosemary chicken

  • Step 1
    Make marinade: combine chicken breast, lemon juice, oil, wine, 2 teaspoons of the rosemary, shallot, salt, and pepper in a zip-top plastic bag or marinade dish. Mix well and seal. Let marinate at least 2 hours.
  • Step 2
    Drain the marinade into a medium skillet, reserving chicken. Heat marinade over medium-high heat. Sauté the chicken breasts in the marinade, turning once or twice, until lightly browned.
  • Step 3
    Reduce heat, cover chicken with the green beans and chicken broth. Cover pan and simmer until chicken is tender and green beans cooked, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Step 4
    Remove chicken and green beans to serving plates. Heat remaining sauce to a boil and reduce slightly. Remove from heat. Stir in the butter to thicken the sauce. Serve sauce over chicken and green beans. Sprinkle with the remaining teaspoon of rosemary.
