For an extra layer of flavor, add a clove of minced garlic to the skillet after removing the chicken and before adding the butter. Cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant, then proceed with the recipe. To ensure even cooking, pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness before dredging them in flour. If the sauce becomes too thick, add a splash of chicken broth or water to thin it out.

Follow The Directions
01
StepHeat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. (2 minutes)
