Garlic Butter Chicken

• Boneless, skinless chicken breasts

  2 pieces
• Garlic

  4 cloves
• Unsalted butter

  4 tablespoons
• Olive oil

  1 tablespoon
• Salt

  0.5 teaspoon
• Black pepper

  0.3 teaspoon
• Fresh parsley

  2 tablespoons

All Steps

1. 1

   Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.

2. 2

   Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned chicken breasts and sear for 5-7 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F or 74°C). Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate.

3. 3

   Reduce the heat to medium. Add the butter to the same skillet. Once melted, add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.

4. 4

   Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the garlic butter sauce over them to coat thoroughly.

5. 5

   Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve immediately.
