This effortless one-pan meal is perfect for those busy nights and good enough for entertaining, featuring garlic butter chicken bites.
Equipment
- Knife and Cutting Board
- Large skillet
- Stove
Ingredients
- 20 oz boneless, skinless chicken breasts 1 ¼ lbs
- 2 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon dried basil
- ½ teaspoon sweet paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
- Freshly ground pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 tablespoon unsalted butter divided
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tablespoon parsley freshly chopped
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken: Dry the chicken breasts with a paper towel and cut them into 1-inch pieces.
- Season the chicken: Place them in a bowl and sprinkle the flour, basil, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper on top. Toss until all the pieces are well covered with the flour and herbs.
- Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter. Once the oil is hot and the butter melts, add the chicken pieces in one layer.
- Cook the chicken: Let them cook without moving them, for about 3 minutes. Flip them over, and cook for 2 minutes more.
- Add flavor: Add the remaining butter, minced garlic, and parsley. Cook for one more minute until the chicken is fully cooked.
- Serve: serve immediately while hot, alone or with your choice of sides (rice, pasta, or a fresh salad).
Notes
Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the chicken before serving, for brightness. For a spicy kick sprinkle red pepper flakes on top before serving. Garnish with grated Parmesan cheese for extra flavor.
