Ingredients

Scale
  • 20 oz (1 ¼ lbs) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • ½ tsp dried oregano
  • ½ tsp dried basil
  • ½ tsp sweet paprika
  • ½ tsp salt
  • Freshly ground pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter, divided
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp parsley, freshly chopped

Optional Substitutions:

  • Use gluten-free flour if avoiding gluten.
  • Swap chicken breasts for thighs for a richer flavor.

Instructions

Step1: Prepare the Chicken

Dry chicken pieces with a paper towel and cut them into 1-inch cubes.

Step2: Season the Chicken

In a bowl, toss chicken with flour, oregano, basil, paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.

Step3: Sear the Chicken

Heat olive oil and 1 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken in a single layer and cook for 3 minutes without moving. Flip and cook for 2 more minutes.

Step4: Add Garlic Butter

Add remaining butter, garlic, and parsley. Cook for another minute until chicken is fully cooked and golden.

Step5: Serve Immediately

Serve hot with your choice of sides like rice, pasta, or salad.

Notes

  • Use fresh garlic for the best flavor; substitute with ½ tsp garlic powder if needed.
  • Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice before serving to enhance brightness.
  • Red pepper flakes or Parmesan cheese make excellent toppings for added zest.
