How to Make Atkins Sauteed Chicken

  1. In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter with 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat.
  2. Add chicken pieces in batches and brown on all sides. This will take about 3-4 minutes per batch. Remove chicken and set aside.
  3. Reduce heat to medium. Melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter in the skillet.
  4. Add the chopped onion and cook for 5 minutes, until softened.
  5. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more, until fragrant.
  6. Pour in the chicken broth, white wine vinegar (or lemon juice), and dried oregano. Stir to combine.
  7. Return the browned chicken to the skillet along with any accumulated juices.
  8. 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.
  9. Before serving, garnish with fresh chopped parsley.
