Step 1: Prepare the Chicken

Pat the chicken pieces dry with paper towels. Dry chicken browns more evenly and develops a better crust.

In a large bowl, combine the chicken with the flour, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Toss well until every piece is evenly coated and no loose flour remains.

Step 2: Heat the Skillet

Preheat a large 12-inch non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.

Add the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter. Once the butter has melted, swirl the pan to coat the surface evenly.

Step 3: Cook the Chicken

Arrange the chicken pieces in a single layer, leaving a little space between them so they brown instead of steam.

Cook without moving them for about 3 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown.

Flip each piece and continue cooking for another 2 minutes until the chicken is nearly cooked through.

Step 4: Make the Garlic Butter Sauce

Reduce the heat slightly.

Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter along with the minced garlic and chopped parsley.

Cook for about 1 minute, stirring continuously, until the butter has melted and the garlic becomes fragrant. Be careful not to let the garlic brown.

Continue stirring until every piece of chicken is coated in the rich garlic butter sauce. The chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
