Step-by-Step Instructions for Garlic Butter Chicken

Pound the chicken breasts between two pieces of plastic wrap to an even thickness of about 1 inch.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Season both sides of the chicken breasts with seasoning, salt, and pepper, then cook in the skillet for about 5 minutes.
Flip the chicken breasts and cook for another 5 minutes until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F.
Deglaze the pan with white wine or chicken broth, scraping up browned bits for about 2-3 minutes.
Add unsalted butter and garlic to the pan, stirring until the butter melts and garlic is fragrant.
Coat the cooked chicken in the garlic butter sauce, heating through for an additional minute.
Garnish the chicken with freshly chopped parsley and serve.
