Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces chicken breasts
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter.
  3. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Cooking
  1. Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is fully cooked and golden brown.
  2. Once cooked, remove from heat, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve.

Notes

Make sure not to overcrowd the skillet while cooking the chicken for even cooking and a nice sear. For extra flavor, let the chicken marinate in salt, pepper, and a little bit of garlic before cooking. Adjust the amount of garlic based on your preference; more garlic will give you a stronger flavor.
