Ingredients

• 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 1/3 cup chicken broth
• 4 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 2 teaspoons minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• salt and pepper to taste (I used 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper)
• optional: fresh rosemary and lemon slices for garnish

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees and grease a baking sheet or large casserole dish.
2. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook chicken 2-3 minutes on each side just until browned. Transfer chicken to prepared baking sheet.
3. In a small bowl whisk together chicken broth, lemon juice, honey, garlic, Italian seasoning, and salt and pepper.
4. Pour sauce over chicken. Bake 20-30 minutes (closer to 20 for smaller chicken breasts, closer to 30 for larger) until chicken is cooked through. Every 5-10 minutes spoon the sauce from the pan over the chicken.
5. Garnish with fresh rosemary and lemon slices if desired and serve.

   
   

   All four of us loved this!  I did leave the Italian seasoning off of Beth's and Andrew's.  Even Cole gobbled some up.
