Ingredients

  • 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 4 garlic cloves minced
  • 3 Tbsp salted butter
  • 1/2 cup white wine or chicken broth
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  • Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel.
  • Cut each breast in half horizontally into two thinner cutlets. Alternately, place the chicken under a layer of plastic wrap and pound to an even thickness.
  • Season the chicken breast with Italian seasoning.
  • Add 1 Tbsp olive oil to a large skillet.
  • Heat over medium until the oil starts to sizzle.
  • Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook until browned, about 5 minutes.
  • Flip and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes.
  • Remove the cooked chicken to a tray and cover to keep warm.
  • Repeat with any remaining cutlets.
  • Add garlic and butter to the pan and cook until fragrant.
  • Add broth and deglaze the skillet, making sure to scrape up the brown bits from the bottom of the pan.
  • Add chicken back to the pan and spoon the sauce over the chicken.
  • Cook until the chicken is heated through and the sauce has reduced slightly.
  • Top with fresh parsley.
