Equipment

  • Nonstick or Stainless Skillet

Ingredients
  

Chicken

  • 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts halved horizontally to make 4 thin fillets
  • 1.5 tbsp unsalted butter or olive oil

Savory Seasoned Crust

  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 0.5 tsp onion powder
  • 0.5 tsp garlic powder
  • 0.25 tsp ground cumin
  • 0.75 tsp kosher salt
  • 0.125 tsp black pepper
  • 1.5 tbsp all-purpose flour

Butter Sauce

  • 0.33 cup dry white wine or chicken broth
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tbsp chopped parsley optional, for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Slice each chicken breast in half horizontally to make 4 thin fillets. Pat dry with paper towels.
  • In a bowl, mix the flour, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Season chicken evenly on both sides.
  • Heat half the butter in a skillet over high heat. Sear chicken 2½ minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Transfer to a plate and let rest 3 minutes.
  • Add wine or broth to the skillet. Scrape up browned bits and simmer for 1 minute. Whisk in remaining butter until the sauce is smooth.
  • Drizzle sauce over the chicken, garnish with parsley, and serve hot.

Notes

Serve with rice, salad, or vegetables. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet with a splash of broth to keep it moist. Not recommended for freezing with sauce.
