Ingredients:

• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, pounded to an even thickness (4 average-sized breasts)
• 1 to 2 teaspoons 21 Salute Seasoning or poultry seasoning
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
• 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or to taste

1. To a large skillet, add the olive oil, pounded chicken, evenly season with 21 Salute, salt, pepper, and cook over medium-high heat for 5 minutes. Do not touch, move, or disturb the chicken while it is searing. After 5 minutes, flip chicken over. It should have a medium golden color. For thicker/bigger chicken breasts, sear for 6-7 minutes.

5. Add the butter and allow it to melt, about 1 minute; stir continuously until melted.
6. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minutes; stir continuously.
7. Turn the heat off, add the chicken back into the skillet, flip it around in the garlic butter sauce, and spoon the sauce over the chicken.
8. Optionally garnish with parsley and serve immediately.
