When the oil is hot, add chicken breasts skin side down, and sear until golden, approx 3 minutes. Flip the chicken breasts over, and move pan to oven. Roast 8 minutes, or until cooked through. Remove chicken from pan, and set aside to rest. Return the pan to stove over medium high heat, and deglaze with wine. Add the lemon juice, and cook 10 seconds. Take the pan off the heat, and whisk in the butter. Ladle the romesco sauce in the center of the plate. Place chicken on top, and pour lemon wine sauce over the chicken.

I had some trouble finding romesco sauce at my local grocery store, so I ended up making my own. It was a bit time-consuming, but it was worth it in the end. The sauce was delicious and the chicken was cooked perfectly.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it needed more seasoning. The chicken was also a bit dry. I would recommend adding more salt and pepper to the chicken before cooking, and maybe even marinating it overnight in a flavorful marinad
