Servings 4
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 lbs. boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into 1 1/4-inch pieces
- 2 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 tablespoon unsalted butter divided
- 1 1/2 tablespoon minced fresh garlic 4 cloves
- 2 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Heat a 12-inch non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
- Pat the chicken dry on all sides with paper towels.
- Sprinkle flour, Italian seasoning, and a pinch of salt and pepper over the chicken. Toss the chicken well to ensure it's fully coated—if any flour remains on the cutting board, keep tossing.
- Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter to the hot skillet, swirling the pan to spread the melted butter evenly.
- Arrange the chicken pieces in a single layer, making sure there’s some space between them to allow browning instead of steaming.
- Cook the chicken for about 3 minutes until the bottom is golden brown, then flip and cook the other side for an additional 2 minutes, or until the chicken is nearly cooked through.
- Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in small pieces, along with garlic and parsley. Let the chicken cook for another minute, ensuring the internal temperature reaches 165°F, and the chicken is no longer pink.
- Serve immediately while hot.
