Cooking
- Add the seasoned chicken pieces to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown, flipping halfway.
- Once the chicken is cooked through, add minced garlic to the skillet. Stir continuously for about a minute until the garlic is fragrant (be careful not to burn it!).
- Toss the chicken in the garlic butter to fully coat. Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley.
