Garlic butter chicken is a simple yet flavorful dish that’s perfect for a quick and satisfying meal. Here’s a delicious recipe to make it:
Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
- Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions:
- Start by seasoning the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned chicken breasts to the skillet.
- Cook the chicken breasts for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C). Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add the butter to the skillet and let it melt, stirring occasionally.
- Once the butter is melted, pour in the chicken broth, dried thyme, dried rosemary, paprika, and red pepper flakes (if using). Stir to combine.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the sauce simmer for a few minutes until slightly thickened.
- Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the garlic butter sauce over the top.
- Squeeze the lemon juice over the chicken and sauce, then continue to simmer for another 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Garnish the garlic butter chicken with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
- Serve the chicken hot with your favorite side dishes, such as rice, roasted vegetables, or a salad.
