Tender, juicy chicken bathed in a rich garlic butter sauce with a splash of wine, creating a flavorful dish that is quick and easy to make.

Ingredients

Chicken:

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 ½ pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, pounded to an even thickness (4 average-sized breasts)
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons 21 Salute Seasoning or poultry seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or to taste

Garlic Butter Sauce:

  • ½ cup white wine* or chicken broth, or as necessary
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, or more for extra sauce
  • 1 tablespoon garlic, finely minced, or to taste
  • 2 teaspoons fresh parsley, optional for garnishing

Instructions

  1. Prepare Chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet, season chicken with seasoning, salt, and pepper, then sear for 5 minutes per side until golden.
  2. Cook Chicken: Cook chicken for an additional 5 minutes on the second side until cooked through; set aside to rest.
  3. Deglaze Skillet: Add wine or broth to the skillet, allowing the liquid to bubble up. Add butter and garlic, cooking until fragrant.
  4. Combine: Return chicken to the skillet, coat in garlic butter sauce, and garnish with parsley.
  5. Serve: Optionally garnish with parsley and serve hot.

Notes

  • Wine: White wine enhances flavor, but broth can be used as an alternative.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 4 months.
