Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts (pounded to an even thickness (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)
- 1/2 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
- 1To a large skillet, add the olive oil, pounded chicken, evenly season with 21 Salute, salt, pepper, and cook over medium-high heat for 5 minutes. Do not touch, move, or disturb the chicken while it is searing. After 5 minutes, flip chicken over. It should have a medium golden color. For thicker/bigger chicken breasts, sear for 6-7 minutes.
- 2Allow chicken to cook on the second side for about 5 minutes, or until done and cooked through. Again, do not disturb the chicken while it's searing.
- 3Remove chicken with a slotted spatula and place it on a plate to rest.
- 4Using caution, deglaze your skillet by adding wine (or broth) and allow the liquid to bubble up and steam violently for a few seconds.
- 5Add the butter and allow it to melt, about 1 minute; stir continuously until melted.
- 6Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minutes; stir continuously.
- 7Turn 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.
- 8Optionally garnish with parsley and serve immediately.
