Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1½ pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, pounded to even thickness (about 4 average-sized breasts)
- 1 to 2 teaspoons 21 Salute Seasoning or poultry seasoning
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or to taste
- ½ cup white wine* or chicken broth, or as necessary
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, or more if desired
- 1 tablespoon garlic, finely minced
- 2 teaspoons fresh parsley, optional for garnish
Instructions
-
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
-
Add pounded chicken breasts and season evenly with 21 Salute, salt, and pepper.
-
Cook undisturbed for about 5 minutes (6–7 minutes for thicker breasts) until the first side is golden.
-
Flip the chicken and cook for another 5 minutes or until fully cooked through.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and place on a plate to rest.
-
Carefully deglaze the skillet by adding wine or broth and allow it to bubble and steam briefly.
-
Add the butter and stir continuously until melted, about 1 minute.
-
Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
-
Turn off the heat and return the chicken to the skillet, coating it in the garlic butter sauce.
-
Spoon extra sauce over the top and optionally garnish with fresh parsley. Serve immediately.
Notes
Wine: White wine adds better flavor, and the alcohol typically cooks off. However, chicken broth is a great alternative for a non-alcoholic version.
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 4 months.
Tip: Don’t disturb the chicken while it’s searing to get the best crust and flavor.
