Equipment

  • Skillet or Pan
  • Sharp Knife
  • Cutting Board
  • Spatula or Tongs
  • Measuring Spoons and Cups
  • Bowl

Ingredients
  

  • 2 boneless Chicken breast
  • 1/4 cup Butter
  • 4 cloves Garlic
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1 tbsp Parsley
  • 1 tbsp Salt
  • 1/2 tbsp Black pepper
  • 1/2 tbsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 tbsp Lemon juice

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Chicken: Start by cutting the chicken breasts into bite-sized cubes. Season the chicken with salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning.
  • Heat the Pan: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken pieces to the pan.
  • Cook the Chicken: Sear the chicken pieces on each side for about 4-5 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside.
  • Make the Garlic Butter Sauce: In the same skillet, reduce the heat to low and add butter. Once the butter is melted, add the minced garlic and cook it for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  • Combine: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and toss to coat in the garlic butter sauce. Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to brighten up the flavor.
  • Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley (optional) and serve hot.

Notes

Make sure to cook the chicken in batches if your pan isn’t large enough to avoid overcrowding. This ensures the chicken pieces sear properly and get that crispy, golden exterior. Also, be careful not to burn the garlic while cooking the butter. Stir frequently to keep it from turning bitter.
