Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board and cover them with plastic wrap. Use a meat mallet or rolling pin to pound them to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch. This helps them cook evenly.
Step 2
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and season both sides with garlic powder, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until the butter is melted and begins to bubble.
Step 4
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 5-6 minutes on the first side without moving them, allowing the chicken to develop a golden-brown crust.
Step 5
Flip the chicken breasts and cook for another 4-5 minutes on the other side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate to rest.
Step 6
In the same skillet, add the chicken broth and stir to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Let the broth simmer for 1-2 minutes to reduce slightly.
Step 7
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning some of the pan sauce over the top. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to warm through.
Step 8
Remove the chicken from the skillet and transfer to serving plates. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve immediately.
