Ingredients
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 ½ lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut into bite-sized pieces)
- 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp pepper
- ½ tsp Italian seasoning
- ½ tsp onion powder
- 3 tbsp butter (melted)
- 4 tsp garlic (minced)
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley (finely chopped)
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken Coating: In a 1-gallon freezer bag, combine the flour, salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and onion powder. Close the bag and shake to combine the ingredients well.
- Coat the Chicken: Add the cut chicken pieces to the bag. Seal it again and shake until the chicken is thoroughly coated.
- Mix the Garlic Butter Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, minced garlic, and chopped parsley until everything is well combined.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the coated chicken pieces, ensuring they have space in the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.
- Add the Sauce: Pour the garlic butter mixture over the cooked chicken. Toss the chicken quickly to coat it in the sauce, and allow it to cook for an additional minute.
- Serve Warm: Garnish with extra chopped parsley if desired and serve while hot alongside your favorite vegetables or starches.
Notes
Make sure to heat the skillet properly before adding the chicken to achieve a nice golden color. Adjust the seasoning based on personal taste preferences.
