Garlic Herb Butter
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 475.
  2. Season with salt and pepper on both sides.
  3. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Drizzle in the olive oil.
  4. Add the chicken and cook for 2-4 minutes on each side until browned (but not cooked through).
  5. 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).
  6. 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.
  7. 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!
Recipe Notes

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!
