Preparation Steps
- Pound chicken breasts to an even thickness and season them with salt and pepper.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine Italian seasoning, paprika, and onion powder; rub the chicken breasts with the prepared seasoning.
- Heat olive oil in a large 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add chicken breasts to the hot oil and cook for 6 minutes, undisturbed.
- Flip over the chicken breasts and add 1 tablespoon butter; tilt the pan to swirl around the butter while it melts and continue to cook for 5 more minutes or until cooked through. Chicken is done when its internal temperature reaches 165˚F.
- Remove chicken from skillet and set aside; keep it covered.
- Reduce heat to medium and add 2 tablespoons butter to the same skillet. Stir in the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 15 seconds.
- Add parsley, thyme, and rosemary; cook for 10 seconds.
- Pour in wine or chicken broth and scrape up all the browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Add the remaining butter to the skillet and stir until the butter is melted.
- Return chicken to the pan and cook for a minute or until just heated through.
- Spoon sauce over the chicken and remove from heat. Serve.
