Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • ½ tsp kosher salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
  • Crushed red pepper flakes

Method
 

  1. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add chicken in a single layer, sear 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden and 165°F (74°C). Transfer to a plate.
  2. Reduce heat to low. Add butter to the skillet and let it melt. Add garlic and cook 30 seconds, stirring, until fragrant.
  3. Return chicken to the skillet, toss to coat in garlic butter, and cook 1 minute to warm through.
  4. Remove from heat. Toss with parsley and red pepper flakes if using. Serve immediately.

Notes

For the best sear, pat the chicken dry with a paper towel before seasoning. Leftovers keep well for a few days; reheat in a skillet with a small pat of butter to bring the sauce back to life.
