Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound chicken breast (or thighs) Use boneless for easier cooking.
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon paprika Smoked paprika can be used for extra flavor.
  • 2 tablespoons oil For searing the chicken.
  • 4 tablespoons real butter Do not use margarine.
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Slice the chicken into chunky pieces, not too thin.
  2. Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and paprika.
Cooking
  1. In a skillet over medium-high heat, heat the oil and sear the chicken until golden brown on both sides.
  2. Add real butter to the skillet.
  3. Add minced garlic to the melted butter and let the chicken soak it up.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth and simmer until the sauce is glossy and clinging to the chicken.
  5. Remove from heat and let it rest for a minute before serving.

Notes

Don't crowd the pan for crisp edges. Consider adding smoked paprika or a dash of lemon for extra flavor. Let the chicken rest off the heat to prevent burns.
