Simple Garlic Butter Chicken

A weeknight lifesaver, this Simple Garlic Butter Chicken features tender chicken breasts coated in a bright, garlicky butter sauce, creating a delightful contrast between crispy exteriors and juicy interiors.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Melt the butter in the skillet.
  3. Add minced garlic to the butter and sauté for about 1 minute.
  4. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then add them to the skillet.
  5. Cook the chicken for about 7-8 minutes on each side, or until cooked through.
