Chicken Breast Saute

Author: Liz and Jessica

Recipe type: Dinner

Cook time: 10 mins

Total time: 10 mins

Serves: 6

Once you make this recipe there are many ways to go: chop over a salad, stir fry or serve it with some hearty sides. Either use very small chicken breasts, or cut each breast in half to make 2 breasts, or pound them using a meat tenderizer. Slice each breast crosswise before serving.

Ingredients

2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
¼ tsp salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
1 cup chicken broth
2 teaspoons parsley, chopped

Instructions

Trim the chicken breasts if needed. Pat dry with paper towels and sprinkle them with some kosher salt.
Heat a very large pan over medium-high heat. Add the butter and the olive oil, and When the fat is all very hot (but not turning black) add the chicken breasts in one layer.
Cook for 5 or so minutes, flip with tongs or spatula and then cook another 4 or so minutes until the bottom is very brown and the chicken is cooked through.
Pile the chicken on a heat-proof plate and place in a 200ºF heated oven while you “deglaze” the pan.
Pour the broth in and scrape with a spatula to dissolve the browned bits while the liquid ine bubbles. Cook the liquid down about halfway, and until the sauce seems syrupy.
Drizzle it on the chicken, sprinkle with parsley, and serve.
