Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tbsp chopped parsley (for garnish)

Butter Sauce

  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 2 tsp honey
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Butter Sauce: In a small mixing bowl, combine the unsalted butter, honey, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix these ingredients thoroughly until smooth and set aside for later use.
  2. Cook the Chicken: Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts carefully and cook them for 5-6 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F, ensuring they are fully cooked. Once done, remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Deglaze the Skillet: In the same skillet, pour in the chicken broth to deglaze the pan. This will help lift any flavorful bits stuck to the bottom. Stir the mixture gently to combine.
  4. Add Butter Sauce: Stir the prepared butter sauce mixture into the skillet and cook gently until the sauce is smooth and heated through.
  5. Coat the Chicken: Return the cooked chicken breasts back to the skillet, coating them thoroughly with the rich butter sauce. Let them simmer for 2-3 minutes to absorb all the flavors.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle the chopped parsley on top for a fresh aroma and vibrant color. Serve the chicken hot directly from the skillet for a delicious meal.

Notes

  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F for safe consumption.
  • You can substitute chicken broth with vegetable broth if preferred.
  • For extra flavor, marinate the chicken briefly with some of the butter sauce before cooking.
  • Serve with steamed vegetables, rice, or mashed potatoes to complete the meal.
