[the_ad id="4667"]Ingredients
- 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.
[the_ad id="4666"]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.
[the_ad id="4669"]Tip: Don’t disturb the chicken while it’s searing to get the best crust and flavor.
