Ingredients

• 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 4 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Place the chicken breasts between two pieces of plastic wrap and gently pound them to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch using a meat mallet.

Step 2

Season the chicken on both sides with the salt, black pepper, paprika, and dried thyme.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat until hot but not smoking.

Step 4

Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate, tenting with foil to keep warm.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 6

Pour in the chicken broth and lemon juice, scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon to deglaze and loosen any browned bits. Let the sauce simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.

Step 7

Stir in the chopped parsley and return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top to coat.

Step 8

Cook for an additional 2 minutes to warm through and infuse the chicken with the garlic herb sauce.

Step 9

Serve the garlic herb chicken hot, garnished with any remaining sauce from the skillet. Enjoy alongside rice, mashed potatoes, or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
