Ingredients
1¼ pounds (20 oz) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon dried basil
½ teaspoon sweet paprika
½ teaspoon salt
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Prep the Chicken: Pat the chicken dry with paper towels and cut into 1-inch bite-sized pieces.
Season and Coat: In a medium bowl, combine the chicken with flour, oregano, basil, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss until evenly coated.
Cook the Chicken: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter. When hot, add the chicken in a single layer. Cook without stirring for 3 minutes to develop a golden crust.
Flip and Finish Cooking: Flip the chicken pieces and cook for another 2 minutes.
Add Garlic Butter: Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, minced garlic, and chopped parsley. Cook for 1 additional minute, or until the chicken is fully cooked and fragrant.
Serve: Serve hot with your choice of sides like rice, pasta, or a crisp green salad.
