A comforting dish featuring juicy chicken breasts sautéed in a rich garlic butter sauce, perfect for a quick weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

  • 2 chicken breasts
  • 4 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 4 tablespoons of butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh herbs (like parsley or thyme) for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt the butter.
  2. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  3. Season both sides of the chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper.
  4. Place the chicken in the skillet and cook for about 7-8 minutes on each side, until cooked through.
  5. Baste the chicken frequently with the garlic butter sauce.
  6. Transfer the chicken to a plate, garnish with fresh herbs, and serve immediately.

Notes

Use a meat thermometer for accurate cooking; let the chicken rest after cooking for juicier meat.
