Ingredients
- 4 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
- 1 Tablespoons Olive Oil
- 2 teaspoons Italian Seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Pepper
- ½ cup Chicken Broth
- 3 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter
- 1 Tablespoon Minced Garlic
- 2 teaspoons Fresh Parsley optional
Instructions
- Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness. Pat them dry and season both sides with the Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook without moving them for 5–6 minutes, or until browned.
- Flip the chicken and cook for another 5–6 minutes, or until browned and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside.
- Pour the chicken broth into the skillet and scrape the bottom of the pan to loosen any browned bits.
- Reduce the heat to medium. Add the butter and cook until melted. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute, until fragrant.
- Turn off the heat. Return the chicken to the skillet and turn to coat it in the garlic butter sauce.
- Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve warm.
