Ingredients
– 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into 1-inch pieces
– ½ teaspoon dried oregano
– ½ teaspoon dried basil
– 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
– ½ teaspoon kosher salt
– ¼ teaspoon black pepper
– 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (divided)
– 2 tablespoons minced garlic
– Juice of ½ medium lemon (about 2 tablespoons)
Instructions
1-Season the chicken: In a bowl, toss the 1 pound of chicken pieces evenly with ½ teaspoon dried oregano, ½ teaspoon dried basil, 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley, ½ teaspoon kosher salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper. Coating evenly lets every bite sing with herbs.
2-Heat the skillet: Melt 2 tablespoons unsalted butter in a skillet over medium heat. Pat chicken dry first for better browning and crispiness.
3-Cook the chicken: Add chicken in a single layer. Cook 8 to 10 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and nearly cooked through.
4-Add garlic: Stir in remaining 2 tablespoons butter and 2 tablespoons minced garlic. Cook 1 more minute until fragrant and chicken hits 165°F (74°C) internally.
5-Finish with lemon: Drizzle juice of ½ lemon (about 2 tablespoons) over everything. Stir to combine and coat.
6-Serve hot: Plate up and enjoy right away.
