15 Minute Garlic Butter Chicken (Keto)
Description
The recipe calls for slicing chicken breasts into thin fillets seasoned with Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and optional red pepper flakes. Cooking the chicken in olive oil over medium-high heat ensures a crispy exterior and juicy interior. After removing the chicken, the pan is deglazed at a lower heat by melting butter and infusing it with minced garlic and fresh chopped parsley or cilantro. Returning the chicken to the pan finishes cooking and coats it in a flavorful, aromatic butter sauce. The quick cooking time preserves tenderness and yields a dish rich in garlic and herb notes without heavy sauces.
Ingredients
- 2 chicken breast cut in half horizontally, medium
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- crushed red chili pepper flakes optional
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 3-4 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tablespoon parsley or cilantro, freshly chopped
Instructions
- Cut chicken breasts in half to make 4 thin chicken fillets. Season with Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper.
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook 3-4 minutes per side or until golden and crispy. Remove from pan and set aside.
- Reduce heat to low-medium and add 2 tablespoons butter to the pan along with the garlic, fresh herbs, and a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes. Stir the garlic and herbs into the melted butter.
- Return chicken to pan and drizzle sauce on chicken. Cook for another 1-2 minutes or until the garlic is golden and fragrant. Serve with a side of pasta, veggies, or rice.
