- Stir in garlic and cook over medium heat for 4 to 5 minutes, or until lightly browned, stirring very frequently.
- DO NOT burn the garlic.
- Stir in the rosemary and remove from heat.
- Pour the prepared garlic butter over the chicken breasts.

Notes
Though we’re using an entire stick of butter for the sauce, we’re only ingesting about ½-tablespoon of the butter per serving.
