Instructions

This Elegant Garlic Butter Chicken Copycat Recipe comes together effortlessly. Follow these simple steps to create your delicious meal:

1. Season the Chicken: Start by patting the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Season both sides liberally with salt and pepper.
2. Cook Chicken: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the seasoned chicken breasts and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
3. Make the Garlic Butter Sauce: In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and Italian seasoning. Sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
4. Add Broth & Red Pepper Flakes: Pour in the chicken broth and add the optional red pepper flakes. Allow it to simmer for a few minutes, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
5. Combine and Serve: Return the chicken to the skillet, allowing it to soak in the flavors for an additional 2-3 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges for an extra burst of flavor.
