Quick and delicious pan-fried chicken prepared with a garlicky butter-chicken-broth sauce, ready in under 20 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 chicken breasts
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels and season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil.
  3. Add the chicken breasts to the hot pan and sear for 5–7 minutes until golden, then flip and cook the other side for another 5–7 minutes until cooked through.
  4. Transfer the chicken to a plate and cover loosely with foil to rest for 5 minutes.
  5. In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium, add minced garlic, and sauté for about 30 seconds.
  6. Pour in the chicken broth and simmer for 2–3 minutes, scraping the skillet to lift browned bits.
  7. Stir in butter and parsley until emulsified.
  8. Return chicken to the skillet, coat with sauce, and warm for another minute.
  9. Serve warm with extra sauce spooned over each breast.

Notes

Use boneless, skinless chicken breasts for quicker cooking. Try substituting olive oil with avocado oil for a higher smoke point.
