Cooking Ingredients
- ½ cup Chicken Stock
- 6 tablespoon Unsalted Butter divided into tablespoon chunks

Instructions
Preparation
- In a shallow dish, combine ¼ cup flour with 1 teaspoon garlic powder, salt, and ½ teaspoon black pepper.
- Butterfly your chicken breasts through the centre to make 4 even sized breasts. Dredge each in the flour, pressing for even coverage.
Cooking
- Add 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil to a large pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add the chicken breasts and fry until golden on each side.
- Turn heat down to medium and add garlic. Fry until it begins to brown, then pour in stock. Add remaining 5 tablespoon butter and whisk as it melts.
- Allow to simmer until sauce thickens, then add chicken back in. Spoon over sauce and serve with a squeeze of lemon juice.
Notes
Using unsalted butter allows more control over saltiness. Serve with lemon for brightness, and use fresh herbs for best flavor.
