Tender, juicy chicken bathed in a rich garlic butter sauce with a splash of wine for extra flavor! This easy stovetop chicken recipe is ready in 20 minutes and is sure to become a family favorite.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1½ pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, pounded to even thickness (about 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
  • ½ cup white wine* or chicken broth, or as necessary
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, or more if desired
  • 1 tablespoon garlic, finely minced
  • 2 teaspoons fresh parsley, optional for garnish

Instructions

  • In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.

  • Add pounded chicken breasts and season evenly with 21 Salute, salt, and pepper.

  • Cook undisturbed for about 5 minutes (6–7 minutes for thicker breasts) until the first side is golden.

  • Flip the chicken and cook for another 5 minutes or until fully cooked through.

    Remove the chicken from the skillet and place on a plate to rest.

  • Carefully deglaze the skillet by adding wine or broth and allow it to bubble and steam briefly.

  • Add the butter and stir continuously until melted, about 1 minute.

  • Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

  • Turn off the heat and return the chicken to the skillet, coating it in the garlic butter sauce.

  • Spoon extra sauce over the top and optionally garnish with fresh parsley. Serve immediately.

Notes

Wine: White wine adds better flavor, and the alcohol typically cooks off. However, chicken broth is a great alternative for a non-alcoholic version.

Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 4 months.

Tip: Don’t disturb the chicken while it’s searing to get the best crust and flavor.
