Garlic Butter Chicken

Print Recipe

A quick skillet meal featuring juicy pork tenderloins in a rich garlic butter sauce with a bright lemon finish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pork tenderloins (about 1 to 1 ½ pounds each), trimmed of excess fat
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup low-sodium chicken stock
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided into chunks
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 lemon, divided into 4 wedges for serving

Instructions

  1. Combine the flour, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish. Mix evenly.
  2. Butterfly the pork tenderloins and dredge each piece in the flour mixture, shaking off excess.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon of butter and the olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add the pork and cook for 3 to 5 minutes on each side until golden.
  4. Remove the pork and set aside. Lower the heat, add minced garlic, and cook until fragrant.
  5. Add the chicken stock and stir, scraping up browned bits. Add remaining butter and whisk until smooth.
  6. Return the pork to the pan and spoon sauce over it. Simmer for a few minutes or until cooked through.
  7. Serve with lemon wedges, squeezing over each portion before eating.

Notes

Pat the pork dry for the best crust. Reduce heat slightly after adding garlic to prevent bitterness.
