Ingredients
1 lb chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried basil
2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
1 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
3 tbsp unsalted butter, divided
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
Instructions
Season Chicken:
In a bowl, mix oregano, basil, parsley, salt, and pepper. Toss chicken pieces in the mixture until evenly coated.
Sear Chicken:
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Melt half the butter, then add the seasoned chicken in a single layer.
Cook for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and nearly cooked through.
Add Garlic & Lemon:
Add remaining butter. Once melted, stir in minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Drizzle lemon juice over the chicken and stir well to coat.
Serve:
Remove from heat and serve hot, garnished with extra herbs if desired.
Notes
Add red pepper flakes or cayenne for a spicy version.
Use olive oil instead of butter for a dairy-free option.
Try swapping parsley with fresh dill or cilantro.
Toss in quick-cooking veggies like spinach or zucchini at the end for a complete meal.
