- Chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat until bubbly and fragrant.

- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then cook in the skillet for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.

Notes
Boneless, skinless chicken breasts work best, but chicken thighs can be used. Yukon Gold or red potatoes are excellent choices for a creamy texture. Fresh garlic is recommended for the best flavor.
