Description
A quick and easy stovetop chicken dish smothered in a rich garlic butter sauce with a splash of wine or broth. Ready in just 15 minutes, it’s juicy, flavorful, and perfect for busy weeknights.
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, pounded to even thickness
- 1–2 teaspoons 21 Salute seasoning (or poultry seasoning)
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt (or to taste)
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper (or to taste)
- ½ cup dry white wine or chicken broth
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (more if extra sauce is desired)
- 1 tablespoon finely minced garlic (or to taste)
- 2 teaspoons fresh parsley (optional garnish)
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Season the chicken breasts evenly with seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- Sear the chicken undisturbed for about 5 minutes on one side, then flip and cook another ~5 minutes until cooked through and golden.
- Remove the chicken to a plate and let it rest.
- In the same skillet, deglaze with wine or broth, letting it bubble and lift up the browned bits.
- Add butter, stir until melted, then add garlic and cook until fragrant (~1 minute).
- Turn off the heat, return chicken to the pan, flipping to coat in the garlicky butter sauce. Sprinkle parsley on top if using. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Use chicken thighs instead of breasts if desired; adjust cooking time accordingly.
- Chicken broth can substitute white wine for a non-alcoholic version.
- Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 4 months.
- Reheat gently with a splash of broth to retain moisture.
- Optional: Serve with separately prepared vegetables for a complete meal.
