Description
A richly aromatic halal-friendly dish featuring seared skinless chicken breasts paired with a creamy garlic-butter sauce made with chicken stock and fresh herbs. The crispy crust and juicy meat deliver balanced texture and flavor.
Ingredients
3 tablespoons olive oil
1.5 pounds chicken breasts, pounded ¾-inch thick
1–2 teaspoons 21 Salute Seasoning (or poultry seasoning)
1 teaspoon kosher salt, adjusted to taste
1 teaspoon black pepper
½ cup chicken broth
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon finely minced garlic
2 teaspoons flat-leaf parsley (optional garnish)
Instructions
Heat 3 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium-high until shimmering
Add seasoned chicken breasts flat-side down
Do not move or lift chicken for first 5 minutes
Flip once with tongs after 5 minutes using pan-sear techniques
Deglaze with ½ cup chicken broth immediately after flipping
Add 3 tbsp melted butter while whisking constantly
Stir in minced garlic until fragrant (about 1 minute)
Return chicken to pan, spooning sauce over both sides
Simmer 2-3 minutes total
Rest chicken 5 minutes before serving
Notes
Use a cast iron or 5.5qt stainless steel skillet for even heat
Pounded chicken ensures even cooking
Chicken broth simmers into a halal-friendly sauce
