  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, pounded to even thickness (4 breasts)
  • 1–2 teaspoons 21 Salute Seasoning or poultry seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or to taste
  • 1/2 cup white wine or chicken broth, as needed
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon garlic, finely minced
  • 2 teaspoons fresh parsley, optional for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken breasts and season evenly with 21 Salute, salt, and pepper. Cook undisturbed for 5 minutes until medium golden on the first side, flipping and cooking another 5 minutes until fully cooked.
  2. Remove chicken to a plate to rest.
  3. Deglaze the skillet with white wine or broth, allowing it to bubble and steam briefly.
  4. Add butter and melt, stirring continuously for 1 minute. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  5. Turn off the heat and return chicken to the skillet, spooning garlic butter sauce over the chicken. Garnish with parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

  • White wine adds flavor; alcohol cooks off, leaving a rich taste. Broth can be substituted if preferred.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 4 months.
