Ingredients:

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

• 2 tablespoons olive oil

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 lemon (zested and juiced)

• 1 teaspoon dried oregano

• Salt and pepper, to taste

• 1 cup chicken broth

• 2 tablespoons butter

Directions:

1. Prepare the Chicken:
   Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and dried herbs (oregano and thyme). Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

2. Cook the Chicken:
   Add the chicken breasts to the pan and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.

3. Make the Lemon Sauce:

4. Finish the Dish:
   Return the chicken to the skillet, add butter, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
