Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/4 lbs. 1-1/2 lb.
  • 2 Tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 3 Tbsp unsalted Butter Divided
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp minced garlic 4 cloves.
  • 2 Tbsp chopped finely fresh parsley

Instructions
 

  • Heat a 12-inch nonstick skillet on medium heat.
  • Use paper towels to dry the chicken.
  • Sprinkle flour, Italian seasoning and the desired amount of salt over the chicken. I use 3/4 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp pepper. Mix well to coat the chicken. All flour must stick to the chicken, and not be left on the cutting board. Continue to tossing as necessary.
  • To a skillet, add 1 Tbsp olive oils and 1 Tbsp butter. Butter should melt quickly. To evenly coat, tilt the pan.
  • To ensure that the chicken doesn't steam, add it in an even layer.
  • Cook until the bottom is golden brown, approximately 3 minutes. Then flip over to the other side and cook for 2 minutes more or until almost cooked through.
  • In small pieces, add 2 Tbsp butter. Add garlic and parsley. Cook for 1 minute more. The chicken should reach 165 degrees in the center, but not pink.
  • Serve right away.
