Print Recipe

A quick and flavorful skillet chicken dish with garlic butter sauce

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 5 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels.
  2. Season both sides with salt, black pepper, paprika, and Italian seasoning.
  3. Lightly coat the chicken breasts with all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess.
  4. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  5. Add the chicken breasts and sear for 5–6 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  6. Reduce the heat to medium. Add butter and minced garlic to the same skillet. Cook for 30–60 seconds until fragrant.
  7. Pour in the chicken broth and lemon juice, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
  8. Return the chicken breasts to the skillet and spoon the garlic butter sauce over the top.
  9. Simmer for 2–3 minutes until the sauce slightly thickens and the chicken is glossy and coated.
  10. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve hot with extra garlic butter sauce spooned over each piece.

Notes

  • Use fresh garlic for best flavor
  • Chicken should reach 165°F internal temperature
  • Let chicken rest 5 minutes before serving
