Ingredients

  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 6 cloves of garlic minced
  • 8 sprigs of thyme
  • salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

Seasoning The Chicken Breasts

  • Use a sharp knife to cut a pocket length ways down the center of the breast.
  • Stuff pocket with garlic, thyme and sprinkle a little salt
  • Season the surface of the breasts with salt and black pepper

Cooking Method

  • Heat about 2 tablespoons of oil in a pan, add garlic cloves and thyme to the oil to infuse more flavor into the oil.
  • Add your chicken breasts and cook on each side for about 5 minutes per side.
  • Cover and reduce the heat to low to allow the breasts to cook for another 15 minutes.
  • After 25 minutes of cook time your breasts should be done. Remove from the pan and allow to rest for about 3 to 5 minutes to allow the juices to re-absorb into the meat giving you a more succulent final product.
