Description
Garlic Butter Chicken is a sumptuous dish that combines the tender juiciness of chicken breasts with the rich, aromatic flavors of garlic and butter. The splash of white wine adds a subtle depth to the sauce, making it a perfect accompaniment to the perfectly seared chicken. This dish is not only a feast for the taste buds but also a visual delight, with its golden-brown chicken and vibrant parsley garnish.
Ingredients
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 ½ pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, pounded to an even thickness
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 you want extra sauce
1 tablespoon garlic, finely minced; or to taste
2 teaspoons fresh parsley, optional for garnishing
Instructions
To a large skillet, add the olive oil, pounded chicken, and evenly season with 21 Salute, salt, and pepper. Cook over medium-high heat for 5 minutes without disturbing the chicken.
After 5 minutes, flip the chicken over. It should have a medium golden color. For thicker/bigger chicken breasts, sear for 6-7 minutes.
Allow the chicken to cook on the second side for about 5 minutes, or until done and cooked through. Do not disturb the chicken while it’s searing.
Remove the chicken with a slotted spatula and place it on a plate to rest.
Using caution, deglaze your skillet by adding wine (or broth) and allow the liquid to bubble up and steam violently for a few seconds.
Add the butter and allow it to melt, stirring continuously for about 1 minute.
Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute; stir continuously.
Turn the heat off, add the chicken back into the skillet, flip it around in the garlic butter sauce, and spoon the sauce over the chicken.
Optionally garnish with parsley and serve immediately.
