Ingredients for A Good Easy Garlic Chicken

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast Halves
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder

How to Make A Good Easy Garlic Chicken

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Add chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs) to the skillet.
  3. Sprinkle generously with 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, and 1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt. Season both sides of the chicken.
  4. Sauté for 10-15 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). A meat thermometer is recommended for accuracy.
  5. Remove chicken from skillet and let rest for 2-3 minutes before serving. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
