Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 teaspoon 21 salute seasoning or poultry seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic about 3–4 cloves
  • 2 teaspoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/2 cup white wine or substitute with chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Chicken : Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and season both sides with 21 salute seasoning (or poultry seasoning), kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
  • Sear the Chicken : Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the chicken breasts. Sear for 4–5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  • Prepare the Garlic Butter Sauce : Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 3 tablespoons of butter to the skillet. Once the butter has melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  • Deglaze the Pan : Pour in the white wine (or chicken broth) and use a wooden spoon to scrape up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Let the mixture simmer for 2–3 minutes to reduce slightly.
  • Cook the Chicken in the Sauce : Return the chicken breasts to the skillet and spoon the garlic butter sauce over the top. Cover the skillet with a lid and let the chicken simmer for 7–10 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  • Garnish and Serve : Sprinkle the chicken with fresh parsley before serving. Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes, like mashed potatoes, rice, or vegetables.
