Ingredients

  • 1 lb Chicken breast
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil
  • 3 cloves Garlic
  • 1 medium Onion
  • 1 cup Chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons Butter

Instructions

  1. 1

    Gather all ingredients.

    💡 Mise en place.

  2. 2

    Heat a large skillet or pan over medium-high heat. Add oil and swirl to coat the surface. Wait until the oil shimmers and flows easily before adding ingredients.

    💡 Properly heated oil prevents sticking and ensures good browning - the shimmer indicates the right temperature.

    Add seasonings and sauce.

    💡 Simmer for flavor.

  5. 5

    Taste, adjust, serve.

    💡 Fresh herbs brighten.

  6. 6

    Adjust seasoning and serve hot.

    💡 Taste and adjust salt last.
