Ingredients

Scale

4 boneless chicken breasts or thighs

1 tbsp olive oil

2 tbsp butter

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/2 tsp paprika

Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions

1. Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and paprika.

2. Heat oil and butter in a skillet over medium-high heat.

3. Sear the chicken for 4–5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.

4. In the same skillet, sauté the garlic for 30 seconds.

5. Deglaze the pan with chicken broth, scraping up any brown bits.

Add red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.

Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat on low heat.
