Description
Flavor Bomb Chicken seared to golden perfection in a garlic herb butter sauce—juicy, tender, and packed with bold, savory flavor.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (plus more for garnish)
Instructions
- Pat chicken dry and season both sides with salt, pepper, paprika, onion powder, and Italian seasoning.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and sear 5–6 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove chicken and set aside. In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and melt butter.
- Add garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir in lemon juice and chopped parsley.
- Return chicken to the pan and spoon the garlic butter sauce over the top. Let it simmer for 2–3 minutes to soak in the flavors.
- Garnish with extra parsley and serve immediately with your favorite sides.
Notes
- Use a meat thermometer—internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
- Swap chicken breasts for thighs for extra juiciness.
- Add crushed red pepper flakes for heat.
- Serve with rice, mashed potatoes, or roasted veggies.
- Leftovers keep well for meal prep—store in the fridge up to 4 days.
