Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup fresh basil leaves
- 1 cup fresh parsley
- 6 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board and pat them dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
Step 2
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken breasts and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Step 3
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium-low, and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the butter. Stir until the butter is melted.
Step 4
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1 minute or until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
Step 5
Stir in the chicken broth, lemon juice, and optional chili flakes. Let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes to slightly reduce the liquid.
Step 6
Chop the fresh basil and parsley, then add them to the skillet. Stir well to combine and cook for another minute.
Step 7
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top. Simmer on low heat for 3-5 minutes to ensure the chicken absorbs the flavors.
Step 8
Remove from heat and transfer the chicken to a serving plate. Drizzle the garlic basil parsley sauce over the chicken.
Step 9
Serve immediately with your choice of side dishes, such as rice, roasted vegetables, or mashed potatoes.
