👩‍🍳 Cook’s Note:

  • For extra tenderness and flavor, marinate the chicken breasts in a little olive oil, garlic, and lemon juice for 30 minutes before cooking.

  • Want it creamier? Add 2 tablespoons of heavy cream to the sauce along with the butter mixture.

  • This dish pairs beautifully with garlic mashed potatoes, skillet cornbread, or steamed green beans.

  • If your chicken breasts are especially thick, consider butterflying them or pounding them to even thickness for faster, more even cooking.

  • Prefer thighs? Boneless, skinless chicken thighs also work great and add a richer flavor!
