Ingredients
- 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ¼ cup butter
- 6 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped
Instructions
- Cut chicken breasts into 1-inch pieces. Season chicken with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Working in batches to avoid overcrowding, cook chicken pieces until golden brown and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove chicken from pan and set aside.
- Reduce heat to medium-low, add ¼ cup butter to the pan and melt.
- Add minced garlic to melted butter and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add parsley and stir together to soften parsley. Return chicken to the pan and toss to coat chicken pieces evenly with the garlic butter sauce.
- Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to blend flavors. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges if desired.

Notes
To store leftovers, let the pieces of chicken cool completely, then store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
To reheat the chicken, place in a skillet over medium heat with a splash of water or extra butter until warmed through. You can also microwave them for 30–60 seconds.
