Ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 6 cloves garlic minced
- ¼ cup fresh parsley chopped
- ¼ cup fresh basil chopped (optional)
- ½ cup chicken broth
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
- Lemon wedges for serving (optional)
- Steamed green beans for serving
- Roasted potatoes for serving
Instructions
- Pat chicken dry, season with salt and pepper, and sear in olive oil over medium-high heat for 5–7 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
- Add butter to the same skillet, then stir in minced garlic for about a minute until fragrant. Deglaze with chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits. Stir in parsley, basil, and red pepper flakes, and simmer for a few minutes until slightly thickened.
- Return chicken to the skillet, spoon sauce over it, and cook for 2–3 minutes so the flavors meld. Serve hot with the pan sauce, a squeeze of lemon, and sides like green beans or roasted potatoes.
