Ingredientes
- 1 skinless, boneless chicken breast (approx. 180g)

- 2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon mixed dried herbs (e.g., rosemary, thyme)
- Zest and juice of 1/2 lemon
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instrucciones
- 1.Pat the chicken breast dry with a paper towel. In a small bowl, combine the mixed dried herbs, lemon zest, salt, and pepper.
- 2.Rub the herb mixture evenly over all sides of the chicken breast.
- 3.Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Carefully place the chicken breast in the skillet and cook for 6-8 minutes on one side, until golden brown and crisp.
- 4.Flip the chicken breast. Add the sliced garlic to the pan, scattering it around the chicken. Continue to cook for another 6-8 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked through (reaches an internal temperature of 75°C).
- 5.During the last minute of cooking, squeeze the lemon juice over the chicken. Let it sizzle and create a simple pan sauce. Remove from heat and let the chicken rest for 2-3 minutes before serving, spooning the garlic and pan juices over the top.
