Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, thyme, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Place the chicken breasts in a ziplock bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (up to 4 hours for more flavor).

  3. 3

    Cook the Chicken

    Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add butter. Once melted, add the marinated chicken breasts. Cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

  4. 4

    Rest and Serve

    Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve with your favorite side dishes.
