Instructions

  1. Step 1: Pat dry 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (6 oz each) and season both sides with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
  2. Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add chicken breasts and cook for 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  3. Step 3: Reduce heat to medium, add 3 tbsp unsalted butter and 3 minced garlic cloves to the pan. Spoon the melted garlic butter over the chicken continuously for 2 minutes until fragrant and the sauce thickens slightly.
  4. Step 4: Sprinkle 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the chicken and cover the pan for 1 minute to melt the cheese.
  5. Step 5: Remove from heat, drizzle 1 tbsp lemon juice and sprinkle 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley before serving.
