Ingredients
  • 1 1/4 lbs. 11/4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1 1/4-inch pieces
  • 2 Tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 3 Tbsp unsalted butter, divided
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp minced fresh garlic (4 cloves)
  • 2 Tbsp finely chopped fresh parsley*
Instructions
  1. 1
    Preheat a 12-inch non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. 2
    Dab chicken on all sides dry with paper towels.
  3. 3
    Sprinkle flour, Italian seasoning, and desired amount of salt and pepper (I use about 3/4 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp pepper) over chicken. Toss well to evenly coat (all flour should stick to chicken and not be left behind on cutting board, keep tossing if needed).
  4. 4
    Add 1 Tbsp olive oil and 1 Tbsp butter to skillet, butter should melt quickly. Tilt pan to evenly coat.
  5. 5
    Add chicken in an even layer, work to leave some space between pieces so they'll brown rather than steam.
  6. 6
    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.
  7. 7
    Add remaining 2 Tbsp butter in small pieces, along with garlic and parsley. Cook 1 minute longer (chicken should be 165 in center and no longer be pink).
  8. 8
    Serve right away.
