Step 1

Cut the chicken breasts in half lengthwise so you've got 4 thinner pieces. Sprinkle them with the Cajun seasoning and garlic powder. Important: Many Cajun seasonings are quite salty. If yours isn't, also season the chicken with salt & pepper.

Step 2

Add the oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter to a skillet over medium-high heat. Let the pan heat up for a few minutes. Cook the chicken for about 5 minutes/side or until cooked through (165F). Transfer the chicken to a plate.

Step 3

Turn the heat down to medium-low. To the skillet, add the remaining butter, as well as the garlic, lemon juice, and chicken broth. Scrape up the brown bits from the bottom of the pan and let the sauce bubble for about a minute or so.

Step 4

Add the chicken back to the skillet and spoon the sauce over top. This recipe doesn't make a ton of sauce, but it's quite rich and buttery, so a little goes a long way. It's great served with mashed potatoes.

Step 5

Sprinkle fresh parsley over top if using, and serve immediately.
