Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 chicken breasts
  • 2 tsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour

Sauce:

  • 2 tbsp infused garlic and rosemary olive oil
  • 8 Heirloom cherry tomatoes
  • 1/2 zucchini, cut in quarters
  • 1/4 cup chicken stock
  • 1/4 cup white wine
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • Freshly chopped parsley, for garnishing

Infused Garlic and Rosemary

  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic, crushed
  • 1 sprig fresh rosemary

Instructions

  • Place each chicken breast between 2 sheets of plastic wrap and pound chicken to about ¼ inch thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin.     
  • Brush each chicken breast with lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. Then dredge each in flour, coating each side.
  • Heat a large skillet or cast iron pan over medium-heat and add butter and olive oil. Once butter is melted, then add chicken to pan,and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until chicken is done. Remove to another plate. 
  • Then add infused olive oil with garlic and rosemary, and saute the cherry tomatoes and zucchini. Cook for about 4-5 minutes and remove to a plate.
  • Add chicken stock, and wine to pan, bring to a boil and cook for 30 seconds, stirring occasionally. Remove pan from heat and add butter.
  •  Serve chicken breasts with sauce and add the cherry tomatoes and zucchini.  

Infused Garlic and Rosemary:

  • Pour olive oil in a sauce pan and heat oil just enough to warm the oil. Add crushed garlic, and let it cook for about 2-3 minutes over medium heat.  
  • Remove from heat and add rosemary. Allow to cool, and rest for 30 minutes so the flavours of the garlic and rosemary are released into the oil.
  • Transfer the oil into a jar or bottle, remove the garlic but leave in the rosemary.
  • Refrigerate the oil for up to 2-3 weeks.
