Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Rinse and pat dry the chicken breasts with paper towels.
- Optionally, you can pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness for more uniform cooking.
- In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, salt, dried parsley, and sage.
- Sprinkle this seasoning mixture evenly over both sides of each chicken breast.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the butter.
- Once the butter has melted and starts to sizzle, add the chicken breasts to the skillet.
- Cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).
- For extra flavor, occasionally spoon some of the melted butter from the skillet over the chicken breasts as they cook.
- Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve the chicken hot, garnished with extra parsley if desired.
Tips:
- For a deeper flavor, marinate the chicken breasts in a mixture of garlic powder, salt, sage, and parsley for at least an hour before cooking.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption.
- For a crispy exterior, sear the chicken breasts on high heat for 2-3 minutes on each side before reducing the heat to cook through.
- Add a splash of lemon juice or a sprinkle of fresh parsley on top before serving to enhance the flavors and add a fresh touch.
- Pair with complementary sides such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
