Ingredients
– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1 cup buttermilk
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– 1 teaspoon salt
– ½ teaspoon black pepper
– 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
– Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Follow these simple steps to achieve the perfect Easy Melt In Your Mouth Chicken Breast:
1. Marinate the Chicken: In a shallow bowl, pour the buttermilk over the chicken breasts. Seal and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This will tenderize the meat.
2. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) while the chicken is marinating.
3. Prepare the Coating: In another bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
4. Coat the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the buttermilk, letting any excess liquid drip off. Dip each breast into the flour mixture, ensuring it’s evenly coated.
5. Melt the Butter: In a large oven-safe skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
6. Sear the Chicken: Once the butter is hot, add the coated chicken breasts to the skillet. Sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
7. Bake the Chicken: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
8. Rest the Chicken: Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing. This helps retain the juices.
9. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle with fresh parsley, if desired, serve warm.
By following these steps, you’ll find that making this exceptional chicken breast is both enjoyable and rewarding!
