- Pepper and salt
- Two teaspoons of divided butter

Guidelines

- Salt, pepper, and one pound of skinless, boneless chicken breasts
- In a big, deep skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat.
- Depending on the thickness of your chicken, add the chicken and cook it for 4–6 minutes on one side, or until golden brown.
- After flipping, heat for a further 4–6 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer has a pink center, on the opposite side.
- To keep the chicken warm, remove it to a platter and cover it with aluminum foil.
- Pour in the leftover butter into the skillet. Sliced garlic is added once it has melted.
- Simmer for 30 to 60 seconds, or until very aromatic.
- After adding the chicken stock, boil for 2 to 3 minutes, or until it reduces by half.

- Re introduce the chicken to the pan and cover it with sauce.
- If desired, garnish with freshly minced parsley.One tablespoon of recently harvested parsley
Notes: Strategies & Methods
- Take care to avoid burning or browning the garlic. The sauce will taste more bitter as a result of this.
- You can replace the chicken stock with bone broth. Make sure to read the labels because certain chicken stocks contain gluten.
- This dish can be made using half-and-half in place of the heavy cream. Just be advised that it won’t be quite as creamy and thick.
- Keep any leftover chicken and sauce refrigerated in an airtight container. Eat in three to four days.
