• servings: 4 servings
• active time: 10 minutes
• total time: 25 minutes

Ingredients

4 chicken breast cutlets

1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt

3/4 teaspoon black pepper

2 tablespoons olive oil

6 tablespoons unsalted butter

6 large garlic cloves

2 tablespoons roughly chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley,

1/4 cup Parmesan cheese

lemon wedges

Directions

Gather all ingredients.

Pat chicken dry with paper towels and season chicken all over with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper; set aside.

Heat oil and 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet over medium-high. Add chicken in an even layer, in batches if necessary; cook, turning once halfway through, until browned and a thermometer inserted into thickest portion of chicken registers 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove chicken from skillet, using tongs, and set on plate; set aside. Do not wipe skillet clean.

With skillet off the heat, add remaining 4 tablespoons butter and stir until melted, about 1 minute. Add garlic and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

Return skillet to medium, and add chicken in an even layer with any accumulated juices. Add parsley and remaining 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper; cook, turning chicken occasionally, until chicken is heated through, about 1 minute.

Remove from heat. Sprinkle evenly with Parmesan cheese and garnish with additional parsley. Serve immediately with lemon wedges.
