Ingredients
Instructions
Pat chicken breasts dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper. If needed, pound to an even ½-inch thickness.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook undisturbed for 5-6 minutes until golden brown.
Flip chicken and cook another 5-6 minutes until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Transfer to a plate and tent with foil.
Reduce heat to medium-low and add 3 tablespoons butter to the same skillet. Once melted, add garlic and cook for 30-60 seconds until fragrant.
Add Italian herbs and red pepper flakes (if using), stirring to combine.
Pour in chicken broth and lemon juice, scraping up browned bits from the pan. Simmer for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.
Remove from heat and swirl in the remaining tablespoon of cold butter until fully incorporated.
Return chicken to the pan, spoon sauce over the top, and sprinkle with fresh parsley.
Let chicken rest in the sauce for 1-2 minutes before serving.
