Instructions

Slice the chicken breasts in half horizontally to create thinner cutlets.
Season both sides with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add butter and minced garlic. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Return the chicken to the skillet and spoon the garlic butter sauce over the top.
Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm.

Notes

Use chicken thighs instead of breasts for a juicier option.
Add a splash of lemon juice for a tangy twist.
Pairs well with rice, pasta, or steamed vegetables.
