Garlic Butter Chicken

Ingredients

  • 4 (5- to 6-oz.) chicken cutlets
  • 3/4 tsp. kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 6 Tbsp. unsalted butter, divided
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2/3 cup chicken broth
  • 1 Tbsp. minced fresh chives
  • 3 Tbsp. minced fresh parsley

Directions

Sprinkle the chicken evenly with salt and pepper. Place flour in a shallow dish; dredge chicken lightly in flour, shaking off excess. Discard any remaining flour

Heat 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high. Cook 3 to 4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. If needed, brown the chicken in 2 batches.

Transfer the chicken to a plate and lightly tent with aluminum foil to keep warm.

Add 1 tablespoon butter to the pan and add garlic. Cook 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Add chicken broth and cook until reduced by half, about 5 minutes, stirring frequently and scraping up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan.

Reduce heat to low and whisk in remaining 3 tablespoons butter until melted. Stir in chives and parsley. Spoon sauce over chicken to serve.
