Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon dried thyme
- 1 tablespoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons butter
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken breasts: If your chicken breasts are thick, butterfly them or use a meat mallet to pound them to an even thickness.
- Season the chicken: In a small bowl, combine garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, dried rosemary, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Rub this mixture all over the chicken breasts.
- Heat the oil: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken breasts and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side.
- Add the butter and chicken broth: Lower the heat and pour in the chicken broth and butter.
- Simmer the chicken: Cover the skillet and let the chicken simmer for 10-12 minutes.
- Finish and serve: Remove the chicken from the skillet and allow it to rest for a few minutes.
Notes
Fresh chicken breasts yield the best flavor; thaw completely if using frozen. For a dairy-free option, omit the butter or use a vegan substitute.
