Steps

Read instructions and get ready to cook

1
Prepare the chicken

Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Season both sides of each chicken breast with salt and black pepper.

2
Prepare the garlic and thyme

Mince the garlic cloves. Remove the leaves from the thyme stems and finely chop them.

3
Sear the chicken

In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken breasts and cook for 6-8 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

4
Make the butter sauce

Remove the chicken breasts from the skillet and set them aside on a plate. Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter to the skillet. Add the minced garlic and chopped thyme. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant, stirring constantly.

5
Finish the dish

Return the chicken breasts to the skillet and spoon the butter sauce over them. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the chicken is heated through and the sauce is slightly thickened.

6
Serve and enjoy

Transfer the Buttered Chicken Breasts to a serving platter and spoon the remaining butter sauce over them. Serve hot, accompanied by your favorite side dishes.
