- 1 Measuring spoons
- 1 Cutting board
- 1 Sharp knife
- 1 Zester or grater for lemon
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless skinless chicken breasts About 1.5 pounds total.

- 3 cloves garlic Minced.
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 large lemon Zest and juice.

Instructions
- Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Set them aside while you prepare the sauce.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear them for about 5-7 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and cooked through. Use tongs to flip the chicken carefully. Once done, remove them from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
