Preparation Steps
1. Seasoning the Chicken
Start by preparing your marinated chicken breast. Take 250g of chicken breast and season it with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of black pepper. Hit it excitedly to ensure the seasoning soaks into the chicken well.
2. Coating the Chicken
Once seasoned, coat the chicken breast with 1/2 cup of flour. This will help create a lovely crispy exterior when cooked.
3. Cooking the Chicken
Next, heat a pan with oil and fry the chicken breast. Cook each side for about 4 minutes or until golden brown. Make sure to keep an eye on it to prevent burning!
4. Making the Butter Garlic Sauce
Now, let’s prepare the butter garlic sauce. Melt some butter in the pan and add 4 cloves of garlic, chopped into small pieces. Stir-fry the garlic with the butter over medium heat.
Then, add 1 tablespoon of flour to create a roux. Pour in 1/2 cup of chicken stock or broth and mix well.
Finally, add 1 tablespoon of oregano and the juice from half a lemon to complete your Greek-style butter garlic sauce. Allow the sauce to boil over medium heat.
5. Combining Chicken and Sauce
Once the sauce is ready, place the cooked chicken into the sauce and mix well. This will give the chicken a beautiful color and flavor.
And there you have it—your butter garlic chicken is ready to serve! It’s even more delicious when you sprinkle some parmesan cheese powder on top.
