Garlic Butter Chicken by Groovyfoodiess

Ingredients

• 4 (6 oz each) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 4 tbsp unsalted butter
• 6 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup chicken broth
• 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

1. Season the chicken breasts evenly on both sides with salt and black pepper until ready to serve.
2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 2 minutes.
3. Sear the chicken for 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Remove chicken from the pan and set aside.
4. Reduce heat to medium and add butter to the same skillet, stirring until melted, about 1 minute.
5. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.
6. Pour in the chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the pan to release any browned bits, and simmer for 2 minutes to slightly thicken.
7. Return the chicken to the pan, spooning the garlic butter sauce over the top, and cook for 1 minute to reheat.
8. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately over medium heat until heated through, about 5 min.
