Ingredients
2 tablespoons olive oil
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
4 chicken cutlets (about 1.5 pounds)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 large cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup packed fresh parsley leaves, finely chopped
1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
1 lemon, cut into wedges
Instructions
1. Heat oil and 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
2. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Sear until golden and 165 Fahrenheit reached, about 3 minutes per side. Remove to a plate.
3. Remove skillet from heat. Add remaining butter and stir until melted.
4. Add minced garlic to the butter and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute.
5. Return skillet to medium heat. Add chicken and juices back to the pan.
6. Add half the parsley and turn to coat the chicken in the sauce.
7. Serve topped with Parmesan and remaining parsley, with lemon wedges on the side.
Notes
Remove the pan from the heat before adding garlic to prevent burning.
Use a heavy-bottomed skillet for the best golden-brown sear.
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
