Directions
Step 1: Prepare the Chicken
Slice the chicken into evenly sized pieces—cutlets or strips work well for quick and even cooking.
Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and optionally a pinch of paprika or Italian seasoning for an herby twist.

Tip: Let it sit for 5–10 minutes while prepping the rest. This allows the seasoning to slightly penetrate and the meat to relax.
Step 2: Sauté the Garlic
In a large skillet (preferably non-stick or stainless steel), melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat.

Once the butter is melted and foaming, add the minced garlic.
Sauté for about 30–60 seconds, or until the garlic becomes fragrant and lightly golden—not brown, as burnt garlic tastes bitter.
Step 3: Cook the Chicken
Add the seasoned chicken slices to the skillet in a single layer.

Sear the chicken for about 5–7 minutes per side, depending on thickness, until golden brown and cooked through (internal temp of 165°F / 74°C).
Avoid overcrowding the pan; cook in batches if necessary.
