- 4 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts pounded to even ¾-inch thickness
- 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- ½ teaspoon Salt

Ingredients
Garlic Herb Butter
| |
- Preheat oven to 475.
- Season with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Drizzle in the olive oil.
- Add the chicken and cook for 2-4 minutes on each side until browned (but not cooked through).
- Transfer browned chicken to preheated oven (if not using an oven-safe skillet, transfer chicken to a greased baking dish first). Bake chicken for about 15 minutes until cooked through (internal temperature should read 165 degrees).
- In a small bowl combine butter, garlic powder, minced garlic, and fresh herbs (see notes for using dried herbs) and mash/mix with a fork until combined.
- When chicken is finished cooking, immediately top with a hearty spoonful of the garlic butter mixture. Allow it to melt over the chicken for a minute or two before slicing chicken. Enjoy!
Notes
Fresh herb substitute: don’t have fresh herbs? No problem. Swap the fresh herbs for 2 teaspoons dried herbs – Herbs de Provence is a great dried herb blend, or you can use Italian seasoning blend if that’s what you have on hand.
Leftover garlic herb butter: if you have any leftover garlic herb butter, store in an airtight container in the fridge up to 1 week. I like to make a double batch and use the leftovers on meats, seafood, veggies, or bread throughout the week.
A touch of lemon: add some lemon zest to the garlic herb butter mixture for a fresh, zesty burst of lemon!
