Description

This dish is a quick and easy way to add some flavor to your chicken. Garlic butter chicken can be made in just a few simple steps, and it’s perfect for a weeknight meal.

Ingredients

Scale

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (can be frozen)

1/2 cup all purpose flour

Salt and pepper to taste

Garlic Butter Sauce:

3 tablespoons butter (do not use margarine or smart balance!!)

3 cloves garlic, minced

1/4 cup white wine (can be substituted with chicken broth)

1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning

seasoning:

2 teaspoons garlic powder

1 tablespoon parsley flakes

optional:

1 tablespoon olive oil, melted

Instructions

Set your oven to 350 degrees. Cut chicken breasts into bite sizes, season with salt and pepper.
Combine flour, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, parsley flakes in a plastic bag. Add chicken to bag and shake until all pieces are coated. MELT 3 tablespoons butter over medium heat in a large pan or skillet (I use the same one I will cook my chicken in).
Cook chicken, in batches if needed, until browned on all sides. (You will probably need to add more butter between batches)
Add wine and garlic. Allow to bubble for 1-2 minutes, then remove chicken from pan. Cover chicken to keep warm while you make the sauce.
Melt the remaining tablespoon of butter in the skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and cook until fragrant (about 1 minute, stirring constantly). Slowly add flour and whisk until smooth (about 1 minute), this will create a roux.
Slowly add milk and whisk until no lumps remain (about 2 minutes), continue cooking and stirring over medium heat until mixture thickens (about 5 minutes). Remove from heat and stir in parmesan cheese.
Add chicken back to the pan, spoon sauce over top. Place in preheated oven and cook for 15-20 minutes or until chicken is cooked through (no longer pink). Garnish with parsley flakes if desired.
