Ingredients
- 3–4 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Lemon juice (optional)
Instructions
1. Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces, ensuring they’re all roughly the same size for even cooking.
2. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 1/2 cup of butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
3. Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and season with salt and pepper. Cook until browned on all sides, approximately 6-8 minutes.
4. Pour in the chicken broth, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until the chicken is cooked through and the broth has reduced slightly, about 5-7 minutes.
5. Stir in the remaining butter and a squeeze of lemon juice, if desired. Garnish with the chopped fresh parsley before serving.
