SAUTéED CHICKEN WITH MEYER LEMON

Steps:

• Toss the chicken with 1 tablespoon oil, rosemary, 1 teaspoon salt, and pepper.

Stir in the leeks and reduce heat to medium-high. Cook until leeks are soft and golden, about 3 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook 1 minute. Push the leek mixture to one side of the skillet; stir in the chicken mixture and sear, without moving, about 4 minutes.
