Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts Ensure they are even in thickness.
- 1/4 cup olive oil Can substitute with coconut oil if desired.
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon dried thyme
- 1 tablespoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup chicken broth Can replace with vegetable broth or white wine.
- 2 tablespoons butter
Instructions
Preparation
- Ensure your chicken breasts are even in thickness. If they’re too thick, butterfly them or use a meat mallet gently.
- In a small bowl, mix the garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, rosemary, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Generously rub this seasoning mix onto both sides of the chicken breasts.
Cooking
- Pour olive oil into a large skillet and heat it over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned chicken breasts. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Reduce the heat to low. Add the chicken broth and butter into the skillet.
- Cover the skillet and allow the chicken to simmer for 10-12 minutes until fully cooked through.
Serving
- Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Notes
Serve over rice or mashed potatoes; pair with roasted vegetables or a crisp salad. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
