Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by patting the chicken dry with paper towels and season both sides with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add seasoned chicken and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through.
  3. Lower the heat and add remaining butter to the skillet. Pour in chicken broth, scraping the bottom to deglaze. Let simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.

  5. Remove from heat, garnish with parsley, and serve hot with mashed potatoes, rice, or roasted veggies.
