For the main course, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken breast with thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. 3. Sear the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Squeeze lemon juice over the chicken and let it rest for a minute. 4. For the dessert, melt dark chocolate chips and butter together in a microwave or double boiler. Stir in heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. 5. Pour the chocolate mousse into a serving dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. 6.
