Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skin-on chicken breasts or thighs
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter (for cooking)
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter (for herb butter)
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tsp chopped fresh rosemary
  • 1 tsp chopped fresh thyme
  • 1/2 tsp lemon zest

Instructions

  1. Pat chicken dry and season both sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
  2. In a small bowl, mix 2 tbsp softened butter with parsley, rosemary, thyme, and lemon zest. Set aside in the fridge.
  3. Heat olive oil and 2 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. Add chicken, skin side down, and cook for 5–7 minutes until skin is golden and crispy.
  5. Flip and cook for another 5–7 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  6. Remove chicken from heat and let rest for 5 minutes.
  7. Top each piece with a spoonful of herb butter before serving.

Notes

  • Use bone-in chicken for more flavor if preferred; adjust cook time accordingly.
  • Swap fresh herbs with dried ones (use 1/3 the amount) if needed.
  • Herb butter can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to 1 week.
