Olive oil is healthier and can add flavor.

Squeeze the juice of 2 fresh lemons into a bowl.

Add 120 milliliters of extra virgin olive oil to the lemon juice.

Add the needles from 2 sprigs of fresh rosemary to the mixture.

Season with a good pinch of salt and pepper, then mix well and set aside.

Take 2 chicken breasts and bash them slightly to equalize their thickness.

Heat a frying pan over low to medium heat and add some of the lemon-rosemary sauce.

Cook the chicken breasts for around 8-10 minutes on each side, depending on thickness.

Add a clove of garlic to the pan for extra flavor while cooking the chicken.

Baste the chicken breasts with the sauce and juices during cooking.

Once cooked, remove the chicken breasts from the pan and set aside.

Add the remaining sauce to the pan and heat it up, reducing it slightly.

Stir in 25 grams of butter to the sauce for richness, if desired.

Serve the chicken on a plate and pour the sauce over it.
