- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
- Lemon wedges (optional for serving)
Instructions
- Season the chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat.
- Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and let them cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, until they are golden brown and thoroughly cooked.

Notes
For juicier chicken, you can use chicken thighs instead of breasts. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for 3-4 days or frozen for longer storage.
