Melt-in-Your-Mouth Garlic Butter Chicken: The Most Tender, Juicy Chicken Ever!
1. Season & Sear the Chicken
Pat chicken dry, then season with salt, pepper, and paprika.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear chicken for 3-4 minutes per side until golden. Remove and set aside.
2. Make the Garlic Butter Sauce
In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat.
Add garlic and Italian seasoning, sautéing for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Pour in chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits.
3. Simmer to Juicy Perfection
Return chicken to the skillet, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 10-12 minutes (covered) until chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
Stir in heavy cream and lemon juice, simmering for 2 more minutes.
4. Garnish & Serve!
Sprinkle with fresh parsley and spoon extra sauce over the top.
Serve with mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread to soak up the sauce.
