  • Put a skillet on at medium high and swirl in just enough olive oil to cover the bottom and the butter. When the butter starts to calm down salt and pepper one side of the breasts. Lay them in the skillet with the seasoned side down and salt and pepper the up side. Nice them about 2 -3 minutes a side depending on the thickness. Turn them over and add all of the rest of the ingredients to the skillet.
  • Stir everything together and finish cooking the fillets in the chicken in the liquid. Spoon some of the liquid onto the filets as they finish cooking. After the liquid comes to a fast simmer cook for about 4 minutes. When the chicken filets are firm to a poke or read 165° on a meat thermometer. They are done. Then serve up your Italian Lemon Rosmary Chicken.
