Instructions

Prepare 4 chicken breasts, by pounding them with a meat tenderizer until they are uniformly about 1.5 inches thick.
Mix 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon parsley, 1 teaspoon oregano, 1 teaspoon basil, and ½ teaspoon pepper in a small bowl and rub the chicken breasts with the dried herbs.
Heat the 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken to the skillet and cook, undisturbed for 4-5 minutes, until a golden crust has formed. Flip the chicken and repeat on the other side.
Remove the chicken from the pan. Add 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar, ¼ cup chicken broth, ¼ cup unsalted butter, and 1 small shallot,. Saute until the shallot is tender, about 3-4 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons minced garlic, to the pan and saute for another 2-3 minutes.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the chicken back to the pan. Coat each breast with the sauce mixture. Continue basting the breasts with the sauce until the chicken is cooked through. Flip the chicken after 5 minutes to evenly cook.
Remove the pan from heat and serve the chicken fresh with the sauce spooned over the top.

Notes

Standard practice is to use unsalted butter, you can use salted butter in this recipe, just season to taste.
You can use chicken thighs in this recipe. Do not tenderize the chicken if it's bone-in thighs.
