Ingredients
For the Chicken
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning store-bought or homemade
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter ⅛ stick
For the Garlic Butter Sauce
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter ½ stick
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice from ½ lemon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Pat your chicken breasts dry with a paper towel. Season both sides with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- Add the flour to a shallow bowl and dredge both sides of the chicken with flour.
- Add the olive oil and butter to a large skillet set over medium-high heat. Add in the chicken and sear on both sides until golden, about 3-5 minutes per side.
- Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- To the same skillet, add in the garlic and red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Stir in the butter. Once melted, stir in the parsley and lemon juice.
- Return the chicken to the skillet, baste with the sauce, and transfer to the oven. Bake for 20-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
Notes
- Storage: Store garlic butter chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- If your chicken breasts are uneven thicknesses, feel free to pound them to even thickness for more even cooking.
- For a moist and juicy chicken breast, optionally brine your chicken in water with a few tablespoons of salt for about 20 to 30 minutes.
- Don't skip patting the chicken dry. This helps the seasoning to better adhere.
- Take care not to burn the garlic; this will lead to a bitter sauce.
- If you'd like a more buttery sauce, you can add an additional 2 tablespoons of butter.
- Use a digital thermometer to ensure that the chicken is cooked to 165°F.
- Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. This will lock in the juices.
