Quick Garlic Butter Chicken

Print Recipe

A simple and satisfying weeknight dinner featuring juicy chicken breasts cooked in a rich garlic butter sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides. Pat the chicken dry first for better browning.
  2. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat until fully melted and slightly bubbling.
  3. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, watching closely to prevent burning.
  4. Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and golden brown.
  5. Remove from heat, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve immediately, spooning some of the garlic butter over the chicken for extra flavor.

Notes

Bring the chicken to room temperature before cooking for even cooking. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
