Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 2 pieces Boneless chicken breasts Select tender cuts for a juicy finish.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Enhances the flavor of the chicken beautifully.
  • 1 teaspoon Black pepper A quick sprinkle boosts the overall taste profile.
For the Butter Sauce
  • 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter Adds richness; use unsalted to control the saltiness.

  • 1 teaspoon Dried thyme Perfectly complements the buttery chicken with aromatic notes.
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika Adds a hint of warmth and color.

Equipment

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Season the boneless chicken breasts with salt and black pepper. In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for about 6–8 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add the unsalted butter. Allow it to melt, then add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Sprinkle in the dried thyme and paprika, stirring to combine.
  3. Pour in the chicken broth and let it simmer for about 3–4 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
  4. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, coat with sauce, and cook for an additional 2–3 minutes.
  5. Remove from heat, sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley, and serve with lemon wedges.
