  • Author: Clara Walker
  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
– 6 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon salt
– ½ teaspoon black pepper
– 1 teaspoon dried thyme (or 1 tablespoon fresh thyme)
– 1 teaspoon dried parsley (or 1 tablespoon fresh parsley)
– Juice of 1 lemon
– Lemon slices for garnish (optional)


Instructions

Creating Garlic Butter Chicken is simple when you follow these steps:

1. Prepare the Chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
2. Heat the Pan: In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat.
3. Cook the Chicken: Add the chicken breasts to the skillet. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
4. Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
5. Add Herbs and Lemon Juice: Stir in the thyme, parsley, and lemon juice. Mix well to combine.
6. Return the Chicken: Place the cooked chicken back into the skillet, coating it with the garlic butter sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through.
7. Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with lemon slices, if desired.

Following these steps will result in perfectly cooked Garlic Butter Chicken that is both delicious and satisfying.
