A delicious and easy garlic butter chicken recipe featuring juicy chicken breasts and sweet cherry tomatoes, all cooked in one skillet for a quick dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 chicken breast fillets
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon chili flakes (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Season chicken breasts with paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper on both sides.
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken until golden brown on both sides and nearly cooked through.
  3. Reduce heat to medium. Add butter and garlic to the pan, stirring until fragrant. Toss in cherry tomatoes and cook until they soften and release their juices.
  4. Sprinkle mozzarella and parmesan over the chicken. Cover the skillet and let the cheese melt into a creamy layer.
  5. Spoon the garlic butter sauce over the chicken, sprinkle with fresh basil and chili flakes, and serve hot directly from the pan.

Notes

  • Serving suggestion: Serve with rice, pasta, or crusty bread to soak up the rich garlic butter sauce.
  • Use ripe cherry tomatoes for natural sweetness and avoid overcooking the chicken to keep it juicy.
  • Healthy tips: Replace butter with olive oil and reduce cheese for a lighter option.
  • Vegan tips: Substitute chicken with tofu or mushrooms and use plant-based cheese alternatives.
  • Gluten-free tips: This recipe is naturally gluten-free when using certified ingredients.
