Season chicken on both sides with kosher salt and pepper.

 

Heat oil in an 8-inch skillet over medium-high heat.  

 

Brown chicken on all sides - this should take about 5 minutes.

 

While the chicken browns, get the chicken stock, fresh rosemary, and sliced garlic ready.

 

Here's what the chicken will look like after about 5 minutes.  The chicken dish won't have crispy skin when it's served, but it will add a ton of flavor to the pan sauce so don't skip this step. 

 

Add the sliced garlic to the pan and... .

 

Immediately follow with the chicken stock...

 

And the fresh rosemary.  Bring to a boil - this should happen almost immediately.

 

Lower the heat to a gentle simmer and cover - simmer for 25 minutes.

 

And here we are after 25 minutes.  See how the pan juices have reduced down and thickened?  Mmm.... spoon them over the chicken and garnish with a few fresh rosemary leaves.
