Ingredients

Scale

4 chicken breast halves, pounded to even thickness
4 tbsp unsalted grass-fed butter
5 cloves fresh garlic, minced
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp dried oregano
2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
Sea salt to taste
Black pepper to taste

Instructions

Pound the chicken breasts between two sheets of parchment paper until they reach a uniform thickness of one-half inch.
Season both sides of the chicken generously with sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.
Heat olive oil in a large heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat until the oil begins to shimmer.
Place the chicken breasts in the skillet without overlapping and sear for five minutes per side until golden brown.
Verify the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
Reduce the heat to low and add the butter and minced garlic directly into the pan.
Baste the chicken continuously with the melting garlic butter for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and coated.
Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

Ensure chicken is patted dry before seasoning to achieve the best sear. Use a heavy-bottomed skillet for even heat distribution. If garlic starts to brown too quickly, remove from heat immediately as it will turn bitter.
