Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 ½ pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts (4 average-sized, pounded to 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 (as necessary)
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (more if you want extra sauce)
  • 1 tablespoon garlic (finely minced, or to taste)
  • 2 teaspoons fresh parsley (optional for garnishing)

Instructions

  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Season the chicken breasts with 21 Salute Seasoning (or poultry seasoning), salt, and pepper.
  • Cook the chicken breasts in the hot oil until golden brown, about 5-6 minutes per side.
  • Add white wine or chicken broth to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits.
  • Reduce heat and add the butter and minced garlic, stirring until the butter is melted and garlic is fragrant.
  • Continue to cook until the chicken is fully cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For a richer sauce, increase the amount of butter.
  • You can substitute the white wine with chicken broth if you prefer.
  • Adjust the garlic to your taste preference.
