Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for spice)
- 1 teaspoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Heat the Pan: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Cook the Chicken: Add the chicken in a single layer. Season with salt, black pepper, and oregano. Cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through.
- Prepare Garlic Butter Sauce: Reduce heat to low, add butter and minced garlic, stirring for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Coat the Chicken: Toss the chicken in the garlic butter sauce. Add red pepper flakes if using.
- Serve: Remove from heat, garnish with parsley, and serve immediately.
Notes
- Prevent Burning: Cook garlic over low heat and stir constantly.
- Dairy-Free Option: Substitute butter with dairy-free butter or extra olive oil.
- Juicier Chicken: Use chicken thighs instead of breasts for more tenderness.
