Description

Easy garlic butter baked chicken breast recipe made with juicy chicken and herbs. Ready in 25 minutes for a flavorful dinner.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (5 to 8 oz. each)

  • 1 teaspoon paprika

  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

For the Garlic Butter Sauce:

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

  • 2 to 3 garlic cloves, minced

  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped


Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F.

  • Flatten the chicken breasts to an even 1/2-inch thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin for even cooking.

  • Season both sides of the chicken with paprika, salt, and black pepper.

  • In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, garlic, Italian seasoning, and chopped parsley to create the garlic butter sauce.

  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for about 2 minutes on each side until golden brown.

  • If using an oven-safe skillet, spoon the garlic butter sauce over the seared chicken. If not, transfer the chicken to a baking dish and then add the sauce.

  • Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

 

  • Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. Spoon any remaining garlic butter sauce from the pan over the top before serving.
