Garlic Butter Chicken Skillet
Elevate your camping cuisine with our garlic butter chicken skillet — juicy chicken, infused with rich garlic butter, and seared to perfection in a cast iron skillet.
Ingredients
- 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 4 garlic cloves minced
- 3 Tbsp salted butter
- 1/2 cup white wine or chicken broth
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel.
- Cut each breast in half horizontally into two thinner cutlets. Alternately, place the chicken under a layer of plastic wrap and pound to an even thickness.
- Season the chicken breast with Italian seasoning.
- Add 1 Tbsp olive oil to a large skillet.
- Heat over medium until the oil starts to sizzle.
- Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook until browned, about 5 minutes.
- Flip and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes.
- Remove the cooked chicken to a tray and cover to keep warm.
- Repeat with any remaining cutlets.
- Add garlic and butter to the pan and cook until fragrant.
- Add broth and deglaze the skillet, making sure to scrape up the brown bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Add chicken back to the pan and spoon the sauce over the chicken.
- Cook until the chicken is heated through and the sauce has reduced slightly.
- Top with fresh parsley.
Notes
- Try this easy recipe with boneless skinless chicken thighs or chicken tenders instead of chicken breasts.
- If the sauce seems too thick, add in some extra chicken stock.
- When planning for camping, we like to do as much meal prep as possible before we leave. Having easy access to hot running water makes cleanup much easier.
- To be sure your chicken is fully cooked, check the internal temperature using a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat.
- Store any leftover chicken in the fridge or cooler in an airtight container.
