Ingredients
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1/2 medium lemon, juiced
Instructions
First, we start by preparing the chicken. In a small bowl, mix together the dried oregano, dried basil, chopped parsley, kosher salt, and black pepper. Now, sprinkle this delightful mixture evenly over all sides of the chicken pieces. It’s important to coat them well so every bite is bursting with flavor!
Next, we head to the stove. Grab a 12-inch skillet and heat it over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of the unsalted butter and let it melt gently. Once the butter has melted, add the chicken to the pan in a single, even layer. This ensures even cooking. Now, let the chicken cook for about 8 to 10 minutes, flipping it halfway through, until every side is a lovely golden brown and the chicken is nearly cooked through.
Finally, it’s time for the finishing touches! Add the remaining butter to the pan, followed by the minced garlic. Sauté for another minute until the garlic tantalizes your senses and becomes fragrant. Just before serving, drizzle the freshly squeezed lemon juice over the chicken and give it a gentle stir to combine. Serve it warm, and enjoy!
