Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 2 cloves garlic cloves

Directions

Step 1

Trim any excess fat from the chicken breasts and pat them dry with paper towels.

Step 2

Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Add the butter and allow it to melt and start to foam.

Step 5

Carefully add the chicken breasts to the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.

Step 6

Cook the chicken for 4-5 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C).

Step 7

While the chicken is cooking, finely mince the garlic cloves.

Step 8

After the chicken is cooked, remove it from the skillet and set aside on a plate, covering it with foil to keep warm.

Step 9

Reduce the heat to medium and add the minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, stirring constantly to avoid burning.

Step 10

Pour in the lemon juice, scraping the bottom of the pan to release any brown bits, and stir well to incorporate.

Step 11

Return the chicken to the skillet to coat with the lemon garlic mixture and heat through for another 1-2 minutes.

Step 12

Remove from heat, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve immediately.
