Crispy Garlic Butter Chicken Recipe

Crispy Garlic Butter Chicken Directions

1. Prepare the Chicken:

   • Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and paprika on both sides.
   • Dredge each piece of chicken lightly in all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess.

2. Cook the Chicken:

   • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
   • Cook the chicken pieces for about 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
   • Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

3. Make the Garlic Butter Sauce:

   • Lower the heat to medium and melt 2 tablespoons of butter in the same skillet.
   • Add minced garlic and Italian seasoning, stirring until fragrant (about 1 minute).

4. Combine and Serve:

   • Return the chicken to the skillet, coating it with the garlic butter sauce.
   • Add the remaining tablespoon of butter, and spoon the sauce over the chicken to coat.
   • Let it cook for another minute, then transfer to a serving plate.
   • Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm.
