Garlic Butter Chicken
Ingredients:
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, pounded to an even thickness (4 average-sized breasts)
- 1 to 2 teaspoons 21 Salute Seasoning or poultry seasoning
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or to taste
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, or more if you want extra sauce
- 1 tablespoon garlic, finely minced; or to taste
- 2 teaspoons fresh parsley, optional for garnishing
Instructions:
- In a large skillet, add the olive oil and pounded chicken. Season evenly with 21 Salute, salt, and pepper. Cook over medium-high heat for 5 minutes without disturbing the chicken. Flip after 5 minutes. For thicker breasts, sear 6–7 minutes.
- Cook the second side for about 5 minutes, or until fully cooked. Remove chicken with a slotted spatula and place on a plate to rest.
- Deglaze the skillet by adding chicken broth and let the liquid bubble and steam for a few seconds.
- Add butter and melt for about 1 minute, stirring continuously.
- Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute, stirring continuously.
- Turn off the heat, add the chicken back to the skillet, flip it in the garlic butter sauce, and spoon the sauce over the chicken.
- Garnish with parsley if desired and serve immediately.
