chicken with butter

Sometimes the simplest recipes are the best. Take a boneless, skinless chicken breast, cook it to perfection, and top it with homemade garlic herb butter. That&#039;s it! Serve this over rice, with a lovely simple salad, or both! Plus, this whole baked chicken recipe can be done in under 30 minutes, which makes it great for those busy weekday evenings when you need dinner done in a flash.

Chicken with Garlic Herb Butter

chicken breasts (pounded to even ¾-inch thickness)

olive oil

butter

salt

black pepper (or ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper)

butter (slightly softened)

garlic

garlic powder

parsley

cilantro

thyme

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!
