Ingredients
Scale
- 4 chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Pat the chicken breasts dry and season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
- Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat until it foams slightly.
- Add the minced garlic to the butter and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Place the chicken breasts in a single layer in the skillet and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 6 to 7 minutes per side.
- Spoon the garlic butter sauce over the chicken while cooking to keep it moist.
- Remove the chicken from the skillet and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
Notes
Use a heavy skillet for even heat and better browning. If the chicken breasts are thick, pound them to even thickness for even cooking.
