Ingredients
- 8- oz Boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tsp Sea salt
- 1/2 tsp Black pepper
- 1/2 tsp Dried thyme
- 1/2 tsp Dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp Dried rosemary
- 1/2 tsp Dried parsley
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 3 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup Chicken broth reduced sodium
- 5 cloves Garlic minced
Instructions
- Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Season with salt, pepper, and dried herbs.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet (preferably stainless like this one) over medium-high heat. Add the chicken in a single layer and sear for 4-8 minutes per side, until golden and just barely cooked through. (Reduce heat to medium if it starts to brown too much.) Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm.
- Add the butter and chicken broth to the pan. As the butter melts, scrape the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon to deglaze.
- Reduce heat to low. Add the garlic and saute for about 1 minute, until fragrant.
- Return the chicken to the pan. Flip once or twice to coat in sauce. If needed, heat for 1-2 minutes, until warm.
- Serve garlic butter chicken with the pan juices spooned over it.
