Ingredients

  • 4 chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Lemon wedges (for serving)


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat, then add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Place the seasoned chicken breasts in a baking dish and generously season them with salt and pepper.
  4. Pour the garlic butter mixture over the chicken, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated.
