Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 5 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp dried thyme or Italian seasoning
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth or white wine
  • Fresh parsley chopped (optional)

Method
 

  1. Pat chicken dry and season with salt, pepper, paprika, and thyme.
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear chicken 3–4 minutes per side until golden.
  3. Reduce heat to medium and add butter and garlic, swirling to coat chicken.
  4. Pour in chicken broth and simmer 5–6 minutes, scraping up golden bits from the pan.
  5. Turn off heat and cover for 2–3 minutes to lock in juiciness.
  6. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use chicken thighs for extra juiciness.
  • Don’t burn the garlic—it turns bitter quickly.
  • Let chicken rest before slicing for the best texture.
  • Serve with rice, pasta, or veggies for a complete meal.
