Garlic Butter Chicken

Print Recipe

A weeknight hero delivering rich garlic flavor with a silky pan sauce and golden-brown crusted chicken.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup white wine or chicken broth
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons 21 Salute Seasoning or poultry seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons fresh parsley, finely chopped

Instructions

  1. Warm a skillet with the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  2. Pat the chicken breasts dry and coat them evenly with 21 Salute Seasoning.
  3. Place the seasoned chicken into the hot oil and sear for 5 to 6 minutes per side.
  4. Pour the white wine or chicken broth into the skillet, scraping the bottom with a wooden spoon.
  5. Lower the heat, add the butter and minced garlic, and swirl the pan until melted.
  6. Let the chicken cook until the internal temperature reaches 165°F, about 2 to 3 minutes.
  7. Optionally, sprinkle chopped parsley over the chicken before serving.
  8. Serve immediately, drizzling the remaining pan sauce over the chicken.

Notes

For even cooking, pound thicker ends of chicken breasts to an even thickness. Rest the chicken for 2 minutes off heat before serving.
