  • 1 tablespoon canola oil

    Rub all sides of chicken with chopped rosemary, salt and pepper. In 12-inch skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add 4 chicken breasts, skin side down; cook 5 to 6 minutes, turning once, until golden brown. Remove chicken from skillet to shallow roasting pan. Repeat with remaining chicken. Place chicken skin side up in pan; baste with 1/2 cup of the glaze.
