How to Make Atkins Sauteed Chicken
- In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter with 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Add chicken pieces in batches and brown on all sides. This will take about 3-4 minutes per batch. Remove chicken and set aside.
- Reduce heat to medium. Melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter in the skillet.
- Add the chopped onion and cook for 5 minutes, until softened.
- Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more, until fragrant.
- Pour in the chicken broth, white wine vinegar (or lemon juice), and dried oregano. Stir to combine.
- Return the browned chicken to the skillet along with any accumulated juices.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then cover the skillet and cook for 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has slightly thickened.
- Before serving, garnish with fresh chopped parsley.
