Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup white wine or chicken broth
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons 21 Salute Seasoning or poultry seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons fresh parsley, finely chopped

Instructions

  1. Warm a spacious skillet with olive oil over medium-high temperature until the surface shimmers.
  2. Thoroughly coat chicken breasts with 21 Salute Seasoning.
  3. Carefully place seasoned chicken into hot oil and allow each side to develop a golden-brown crust, about 5 to 6 minutes per side.
  4. Pour white wine or chicken broth into the skillet to release cooking remnants.
  5. Lower cooking temperature, then introduce butter and minced garlic.
  6. Maintain gentle heat, allowing chicken to reach internal doneness and sauce to thicken, roughly 2 to 3 minutes.
  7. Optionally sprinkle freshly chopped parsley across chicken for color and flavor.
  8. Transfer chicken to serving plates, drizzling remaining pan sauce over top.

Notes

Bring chicken to room temperature before cooking for even cooking. Use a heavy skillet for the best sear.
