Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan or skillet over a medium heat and add the chicken thighs. Fry the thighs until they just start to colour.

Step 2

Add the butter to the pan and continue to cook the chicken until golden brown all over. Set aside.

Step 3

Reduce the heat, slice the garlic and add to the pan cooking gently in the butter until fragrant, taking care not to burn the butter or garlic.

Step 4

Return the chicken thighs to the pan along with the lemon zest and tear in the rosemary.

Step 5

Continue to cook over a medium heat, spooning the hot butter over the chicken until completely cooked through and no longer pink. Serve with steamed green beans or broccoli.
