Garlic Butter Chicken

• servings: 4 servings
• active time: 5 minutes
• total time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts (pounded to an even thickness (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)

1/2 cup white wine* or chicken broth (or as necessary)

3 tablespoons unsalted butter (or more if you want extra sauce)

1 tablespoon garlic (finely minced; or to taste)

2 teaspoons fresh parsley (optional for garnishing)

Directions

Cook

To a large skillet, add the olive oil, pounded chicken, evenly season with 21 Salute, salt, pepper, and cook over medium-high heat for 5 minutes. Do not touch, move, or disturb the chicken while it is searing. After 5 minutes, flip chicken over. It should have a medium golden color. For thicker/bigger chicken breasts, sear for 6-7 minutes.

Flip

Allow chicken to cook on the second side for about 5 minutes, or until done and cooked through. Again, do not disturb the chicken while it's searing.

Rest

Remove chicken with a slotted spatula and place it on a plate to rest.

Deglaze

Using caution, deglaze your skillet by adding wine (or broth) and allow the liquid to bubble up and steam violently for a few seconds.

Melt

Add the butter and allow it to melt, about 1 minute; stir continuously until melted.

Cook

Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minutes; stir continuously.

Combine

Turn the heat off, add the chicken back into the skillet, flip it around in the garlic butter sauce, and spoon the sauce over the chicken.

Garnish

Optionally garnish with parsley and serve immediately.
