Ingredients
- ✓1.5 pounds boneless chicken cutlets
- ✓4 tablespoons unsalted European-style butter
- ✓4 cloves freshly minced garlic cloves
- ✓1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ✓0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
- ✓1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ✓0.5 teaspoon cracked black pepper
- ✓1 tablespoon (chopped) fresh flat-leaf parsley
Instructions
Pat the chicken cutlets completely dry with paper towels to ensure a superior sear.
💡 Tip: Dry meat browns significantly faster than damp meat.
In a small ramekin, combine the salt, pepper, paprika, and oregano, then coat the chicken evenly on both sides.
💡 Tip: Using a spice blend beforehand prevents clumping in the pan.
Heat the butter in a heavy-bottomed stainless steel or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until it begins to froth.
💡 Tip: Watch for the butter to turn a light hazelnut color for a richer base flavor.
Place the cutlets in the skillet and sear for 4 minutes per side; add the minced garlic during the final 90 seconds of cooking to avoid burning.
💡 Tip: Avoid overcrowding the pan to maintain a high temperature for proper browning.
Remove from heat, garnish with fresh parsley, and allow the meat to rest for 3 minutes before serving.
💡 Tip: Resting allows the internal juices to redistribute throughout the cutlet.
