Ingredients:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
2 garlic cloves, peeled and cut in half lengthwise |
1 teaspoon kosher salt |
freshly ground black pepper |
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth |
2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves |
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest |
4 ounces soft goat cheese |
Directions:
1. Using a rolling pin, pound the chicken between 2 sheets of wax paper until they are of uniform thickness. Heat the oil and garlic in a large skillet over medium-high heat until the oil shimmers and the garlic browns. (Don't burn the garlic.) Add the chicken breasts and cook until golden, 3 to 5 minutes on each side. Add the salt, pepper, chicken broth, thyme and lemon zest. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook 3 minutes longer or until the chicken is fork-tender. Remove the chicken to a platter and keep warm. Increase heat to high and boil the sauce until thickened or syrupy, 3 to 5 minutes. Whisk in the goat cheese and pour the sauce over the chicken.
