  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme (optional)

Instructions:

  4. Finish the dish: Return the chicken to the skillet and spoon the garlic butter over it. Let it cook for another minute or two, then squeeze lemon juice over the top (optional).
  5. Serve: Serve the chicken with your favorite side dishes and enjoy!
