Ingredients

4 chicken breasts
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried thyme (or fresh, if available)
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Instructions

Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
Heat the Butter: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and thyme, stirring until fragrant (about 1 minute).
Cook the Chicken: Add the seasoned chicken breasts to the skillet. Cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F).
Baste with Sauce: Spoon the garlic butter sauce over the chicken while it cooks to infuse it with flavor.
Serve: Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a serving plate, drizzle with the garlic butter from the skillet, and garnish with fresh parsley.
