Pan fried Chicken with Butter

December 25, 2014 Posted by Shweta Shanbhag

Felt like cooking a simple lunch today. Did not want to spend too much time in the kitchen and yet wanted to eat something tasty.
Here is my quick and easy recipe which doesn’t take more than 15 mins of cooking time.

Ingredients
2 chicken breasts

1 tbsp of olive oilPepper powder1 tsp lemon juice

2 tbsp of butter

2 pods of crushed garlic

Freshly chopped basil

Salt
Method

Clean and pat dry 2 chicken breasts. Cut them into 2 layers horizontally if too thick
Take 1 tbsp of olive oil, add some pepper powder and 1 tsp lemon juice. Adjust the salt and marinate the chicken for 30 mins.
Take a pan and add 2 tbsp of butter into it. When the butter starts frothing, add 2 pods of crushed garlic. Add the chicken breasts to the hot pan and let it cook on each side for 2 mins on a medium flame.
Add some water (you can add chicken stock for added taste) to the pan to get a good buttery sauce.
Add freshly chopped basil to the pan and cook the chicken for another 2 mins each side.
Serve chicken with the sauce poured over the top.
