Garlic Butter Chicken Ingredients

Garlic Butter Chicken

  • Olive oil, 3 tablespoons
  • 1 1/2 pounds of evenly pounded boneless, skinless chicken breasts (4 average-sized breasts)
  • 2-3 teaspoons 21 Homage Seasoning or seasoning for poultry
  • 1 kosher salt teaspoon, or to taste
  • black pepper, freshly ground, to taste, 1 teaspoon
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, or more if you want additional sauce, or as needed, 1/2 cup white wine* or chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon coarsely minced garlic, or to taste
  • two teaspoons of fresh parsley, if desired for garnish

Instructions

Garlic Butter Chicken

  1. Add the pounded chicken to a large skillet along with the olive oil and evenly season with 21 Salute, salt, and pepper. Cook for 5 minutes over medium-high heat. The chicken should not be touched, moved, or disturbed while it is searing. Following 5 minutes, flip chicken over. It ought to be a medium golden hue. Sear for 6 to 7 minutes for thicker and larger chicken breasts.
  2. Cook the chicken until done and cooked through on the second side for about 5 minutes. Once more, don’t upset the chicken while it’s burning.
  3. Using a slotted spatula, remove the chicken and set it aside on a plate to rest.
  4. Deglaze your skillet by adding wine (or broth) and allowing the liquid to steam violently for a few seconds. Proceed with caution.
  5. Melt the butter for about one minute after adding it; Continue to stir until melted.
  6. Add the garlic and cook for about one minute until fragrant; Continue to stir.
  7. Add the chicken back to the skillet, flip it over in the garlic butter sauce, and spoon the sauce over the chicken. Remove the skillet from the heat.
  8. Serve right away with parsley as an optional garnish.

Notes

  • Wine: I suggest white wine since I think it has a greater flavor than chicken broth and because I personally think the alcohol burns off leaving only the wine’s flavor behind. Use broth, though, if it suits your needs or way of life better.
  • Storage: Chicken keeps airtight for up to 5 days in the refrigerator and for up to 4 months in the freezer.
