Instructions

  1. Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.

  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, heat olive oil and 1 tbsp of butter.

  3. Add chicken and sear for 4–5 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.

  6. Return chicken to the skillet, spoon garlic butter and vegetables over the top.
