Garlic Butter Chicken Recipe

Generously coat chicken breasts with salt and pepper, ensuring even coverage on both surfaces.

Warm olive oil in a spacious skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.

Carefully place seasoned chicken into the hot skillet, cooking for 6 minutes until a rich golden-brown crust forms.

Flip chicken and continue cooking for an additional 5-6 minutes, verifying internal temperature reaches 165°F for complete doneness.

Transfer perfectly cooked chicken to a clean plate, allowing it to rest momentarily.

Reduce skillet heat to medium-low and melt butter, quickly introducing minced garlic.

Sauté garlic for 45-60 seconds, releasing its aromatic essence without browning.

Pour chicken broth into the skillet, using a wooden spoon to dislodge caramelized cooking remnants from the pan’s bottom.

Gently reintroduce chicken to the bubbling sauce, spooning liquid generously over each piece.

Allow chicken to simmer in garlic butter sauce for 2-3 minutes, enabling flavors to harmonize.

Remove from heat and optionally garnish with fresh, finely chopped parsley for a vibrant finishing touch.
