Instructions
  1. 1

    Slice and season

    Slice each chicken breast lengthwise to make 4 thin cutlets. Mix the kosher salt, paprika, thyme, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper in a small bowl, then coat both sides of the chicken with the spice mix.

  1. 2

    Sear

    Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add the chicken and sear 2-3 minutes per side until cooked through (165°F internal). Move it to a plate.

  2. 3

    Build the sauce

    Melt the butter (microwave works fine) and stir in the minced garlic, honey, italian seasoning, and parsley.

  3. 4

    Sauce it and serve

    Drop the heat to medium-low, pour the garlic-honey butter into the skillet, and scrape up the browned bits. Return the chicken and any juices to the pan, spoon the sauce over each piece, and let it sit a minute before serving.

Notes & Tips

This is the one I make when I forgot to plan dinner again. Two chicken breasts, sliced thin, hit the pan in under 10 minutes — don't skip slicing them, that's what makes this fast and keeps the chicken juicy instead of dry. The spice rub does a lot of work here, and that honey-garlic butter at the end is non-negotiable. Spoon every drop of it over the chicken and whatever you're serving alongside — rice, noodles, or just some steamed green beans.
