Ingredients

½ cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts cut in half widthwise
2 tablespoons olive oil
6 cloves garlic minced
1 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
½ cup salted butter cubed
1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped

Instructions

In a shallow dish, combine the flour, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Dredge the chicken breast into the flour to coat both sides.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken and sear both sides until golden brown. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and add in the garlic. Cook until the garlic is fragrant, about 30-60 seconds, watching to avoid burning.
Deglaze the pan with the chicken broth using a wooden spoon to loosen up the brown bits from the bottom of the pan.
Add the chicken breast, butter, and parsley into the pan and cook until the sauce has thickened and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F, about 4-6 minutes.
Serve the chicken drizzled with the sauce.

Notes

All-purpose flour: 1 to 1 Gluten-Free flour can be used in place of the all-purpose flour.

Boneless skinless chicken breast: Boneless, skinless chicken thighs will also work. The thighs should take a little longer to cook, so be sure to cook through to 165F.

Olive oil: You can use a similar neutral oil like avocado oil.

Chicken broth: I recommend using reduced-sodium chicken broth or no salt chicken broth to better control the salt level. Vegetable broth or white wine will also work.
