Instructions

Prepare Chicken: Using a sharp knife, cut the chicken breasts into bite-size pieces. Drizzle the chicken with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and toss evenly with the garlic and herb seasoning to coat all pieces thoroughly.
Cook Chicken: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook for approximately three minutes per side until they turn golden brown and are cooked through.
Make Garlic Butter Sauce: Add the butter and minced garlic cloves to the heated skillet with the chicken. Cook until the butter has fully melted and the garlic is fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Finish and Garnish: Toss the chicken pieces in the garlic butter sauce to fully coat. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, grated Parmesan cheese, and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for added flavor and presentation.

Notes

You can substitute chicken thighs for a juicier bite if preferred.
Be careful not to burn the garlic in the butter; cook it gently until just fragrant.
Serve with crusty bread or over pasta for a complete meal.
Adjust red pepper flakes to control the level of heat.
Use fresh garlic and herbs for the best flavor.
