Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • to taste Salt
  • to taste Black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil
  • 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
  • 6 Garlic cloves, minced
  • 0.25 cup Fresh parsley, chopped
  • 0.25 cup Fresh basil, chopped (optional)
  • 0.5 cup Chicken broth
  • 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Lemon wedges (optional, for serving)
  • Steamed green beans (for serving)
  • Roasted potatoes (for serving)

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Season chicken breasts on both sides with salt and black pepper.
  2. Step 2: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken for 5–7 minutes per side, until golden and cooked through (internal temperature 165°F / 74°C). Remove chicken and set aside.
  3. Step 3: Reduce heat to medium. Add butter to the skillet and let it melt and foam. Stir in minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute, being careful not to brown it.
  4. Step 4: Pour in chicken broth to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits. Add parsley, basil (if using), and red pepper flakes. Simmer for 3–4 minutes to slightly reduce the sauce.
  5. Step 5: Return chicken to the skillet, spooning the garlic butter sauce over the top. Let it simmer for 2–3 minutes to absorb the flavors.
  6. Step 6: Plate the chicken and drizzle with the remaining sauce. Serve hot with steamed green beans and roasted potatoes. Add a squeeze of lemon juice if desired for a bright finish.

Notes

For extra richness, stir in a splash of cream or a sprinkle of Parmesan to the sauce. Leftovers reheat beautifully in a skillet over low heat or can be sliced and used in sandwiches or salads.
