Equipment

  • 12-inch non-stick skillet

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ¼ lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1 ¼-inch pieces
  • 2 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 tablespoon unsalted butter, divided
  • 1 ½ tablespoon minced fresh garlic (4 cloves)
  • 2 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley

Instructions
 

  • Preheat a 12-inch non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Dab chicken on all sides dry with paper towels.
  • Sprinkle flour, Italian seasoning, and desired amount of salt and pepper over chicken. Toss well to evenly coat.
  • Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter to skillet, butter should melt quickly. Tilt pan to evenly coat.
  • Add chicken in an even layer, work to leave some space between pieces so they'll brown rather than steam.
  • Let cook until nicely golden brown on bottom, about 3 minutes then flip to opposite side and cook 2 minutes longer, or until nearly cooked through.
  • Add remaining 2 tablespoon butter in small pieces, along with garlic and parsley. Cook 1 minute longer.
  • Serve right away.

Notes

For extra herb flavor, double up on the parsley. For another layer of flavor, finish by juicing in half a lemon.
