Ingredients

Scale

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
2 tablespoons minced garlic
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (from 1/2 lemon)

Instructions

In a bowl, season chicken pieces with oregano, basil, parsley, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
Heat 2 tablespoons butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add chicken in a single layer and cook for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway.
Add remaining 2 tablespoons butter and minced garlic. Cook for 1 minute until garlic is fragrant and chicken reaches 165°F.
