Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Tips:

  • Select high-quality chicken thighs: Look for organic or free-range chicken thighs that are plump and have a natural pink color, indicating freshness.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs like thyme, rosemary, and sage will add a burst of flavor to your dish, so be sure to use them if you have them on hand.
  • Brown the chicken thighs well before adding the sauce: This will help to develop a rich, flavorful crust on the chicken and prevent it from becoming dry.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When browning the chicken thighs, make sure not to overcrowd the pan as this will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Let the chicken rest before serving: After cooking, let the chicken thighs rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute and the meat to become more tender.

Conclusion:

This delicious chicken with herb sauce is a versatile dish that can be served with a variety of sides, such as mashed potatoes, rice, or roasted vegetables. It's perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. With its tender, juicy chicken and flavorful sauce, this dish is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table.
