Main Ingredients

  • 2 lbs chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 3-4 cloves garlic, minced Adjust based on your love for garlic!
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning (optional) Adds great flavor
  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Start by cutting your chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. Pat them dry with a paper towel to ensure they sear nicely.
  • Season the chicken pieces generously with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning (if using).
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Let it get bubbly, but not browned.

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.

Notes

Serve with steamed rice, garden salad, or roasted vegetables. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
