Ingredients
– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter
– 5 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
– Lemon wedges (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Creating Garlic Butter Chicken Breast is simple if you follow these easy steps:
1. Prepare the Chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt, pepper, and paprika.
2. Melt the Butter: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
3. Sauté the Garlic: Once the butter is melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant but not browned.
4. Cook the Chicken: Add the chicken breasts to the skillet. Cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F).
5. Baste with Sauce: During the last few minutes of cooking, use a spoon to continuously baste the chicken with the garlic butter sauce.
6. Rest the Chicken: Remove the skillet from heat. Let the chicken rest for about 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
7. Garnish: Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
8. Serve: Optionally, serve with lemon wedges for added flavor.
By following these steps, you can create an incredible Garlic Butter Chicken Breast that is bursting with flavor!
