Instructions

  1. In a large, heavy pan heat butter until melted on medium high heat - as hot as you can get your pan without burning the butter.
  2. Add chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, about 6-8 minutes.
  3. Salt and pepper chicken generously while cooking.
  4. Remove chicken from pan and set aside.
  5. Deglaze pan with wine or stock, let cook down - about 2 minutes. Be sure to scrape all the browned bits off the bottom of the pan!
  6. Add garlic to pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and stock has mostly cooked off - another 3-4 minutes.
  7. Add lemon juice.
  8. Add red pepper flakes and cilantro, stir.
  9. Add back chicken to pan, toss well to coat in sauce.
  10. Continue to heat for 1-2 minutes until chicken has absorbed a bit of the sauce.
  11. Serve hot with rice, vegetables, in a wrap or over a salad!
