1 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste

  • Add the butter and allow it to melt, about 1 minute; stir continuously until melted.
  • Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minutes; stir continuously.
  • Turn the heat off, add the chicken back into the skillet, flip it around in the garlic butter sauce, and spoon the sauce over the chicken.
  • Optionally garnish with parsley and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh, organic ingredients whenever possible. This will ensure that your dish is bursting with flavor and nutrients.
  • Be sure to use a large enough skillet so that the chicken has plenty of room to brown. Don't overcrowd the pan, or the chicken will steam instead of brown.
  • Cook the chicken over medium heat so that it has time to brown evenly without burning. Be patient and don't rush the process.
  • Add the garlic towards the end of the cooking process so that it doesn't burn. Garlic burns easily, so be careful not to overcook it.
  • Season the chicken generously with salt and pepper to taste. You can also add other seasonings, such as paprika, cumin, or chili powder, to taste.
  • Serve the chicken saut with garlic immediately with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, rice, or roasted vegetables.
