Ingredients

3 tablespoons

SCS Unsalted Butter
3 tablespoons

Olive oil
1 1/2 pounds

Boneless skinless chicken breasts, pounded to an even thickness (4 average-sized breasts)
1 to 2 teaspoons

Poultry seasoning
1 teaspoon

Kosher salt, or to taste
1 teaspoon

Freshly ground black pepper, or to taste
1/2 cup

White wine* or chicken broth, or as necessary
1 tablespoon

Garlic, finely minced; or to taste
2 teaspoons

Fresh parsley, optional for garnishing

Directions

To a large skillet, add the olive oil, pounded chicken, evenly season with poultry seasoning, salt, pepper, and cook over medium-high heat for 5 minutes. Do not touch, move, or disturb the chicken while it is searing. After 5 minutes, flip chicken over. It should have a medium golden color. For thicker/bigger chicken breasts, sear for 6-7 minutes.
Allow chicken to cook on the second side for about 5 minutes, or until done and cooked through. Again, do not disturb the chicken while it’s searing.
Remove chicken with a slotted spatula and place it on a plate to rest.
Using caution, deglaze your skillet by adding wine (or broth) and allow the liquid to bubble up and steam violently for a few seconds.
Add SCS Unsalted Butter and allow it to melt, about 1 minute; stir continuously until melted.
Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minutes; stir continuously.
Turn the heat off, add the chicken back into the skillet, flip it around in the garlic butter auce, and spoon the sauce over the chicken. Optionally garnish with parsley and serve immediately.
