Ingredients:
•4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
•Salt and pepper, to taste
•1 tsp paprika
•2 tbsp olive oil
•4 tbsp unsalted butter
•5 cloves garlic, minced
•½ cup chicken broth (or white wine for extra flavor)
•1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
•Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
1.Prepare the Chicken: Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and paprika.
2.Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
3.Make the Garlic Butter Sauce: In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

5.Combine and Serve: Return the chicken to the skillet and spoon the garlic butter sauce over it. Let it heat through for a minute, then garnish with fresh parsley.
6.Serve: Serve the chicken with the sauce spooned over the top, alongside your favorite sides.
