Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic
  • 1/2 medium lemon, juiced (about 2 tablespoons)

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, mix together the oregano, basil, parsley, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle this blend over the chicken pieces. Toss until all pieces are evenly coated.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Tilt the pan to coat the base evenly. Add the seasoned chicken in a single layer. Cook for about 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through until golden brown and nearly cooked through.
  3. Add the remaining butter to the skillet. Once melted, stir in the minced garlic. Cook for about 1 minute or until fragrant, ensuring that the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
  4. Drizzle lemon juice over the cooked chicken in the skillet. Stir well to combine all flavors so each bite is infused with bright citrus goodness.
  5. Enjoy these hot as a delightful main dish or present them as an appetizer that will impress your guests!
