Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (pounded to even thickness)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 5 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Start by patting the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel. This helps achieve a better sear. Season both sides of the chicken generously with salt, black pepper, and onion powder.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, add the chicken breasts. Cook for about 5 to 7 minutes per side, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C). Remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside on a plate.
- Lower the heat to medium. In the same skillet, add the butter. As it begins to melt and foam, add the minced garlic, rosemary, and thyme. Sauté for about 1 minute until the garlic is fragrant and the herbs have infused the butter, being careful not to burn the garlic.
- Return the chicken breasts to the skillet. Use a spoon to pour the garlic herb butter repeatedly over the chicken for 1 to 2 minutes. This basting process adds a deep layer of flavor and ensures the meat stays juicy.
- Turn off the heat and sprinkle the fresh parsley over the top. Serve immediately while the butter is warm and drizzled over the chicken.
