Ingredients
  

  • 1.2 pounds skinless boneless chicken thighs About 5 to 6 pieces
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder Builds a savory base
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil Prevents sticking
  • ½ cup dry white wine Or broth or water
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter Creates a glossy sauce
  • 2 large garlic cloves Minced
  • Salt and pepper To taste
  • Finely chopped parsley Optional garnish

Equipment

  • 1 Large skillet For even searing
  • 1 Spatula For pressing the meat flat

Method
 

  1. Sprinkle both sides of the meat evenly with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  2. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat, placing the meat smooth side down, and cook for five minutes while pressing lightly with a spatula.
  3. Turn the pieces over, press lightly again, and cook for two minutes before adding the fresh garlic and butter.
  4. Cook for one minute until the aromatics are light golden, then pour in the wine and turn up the heat.
  5. Stir rapidly for one and a half minutes to dissolve the stuck bits, then remove from the heat and serve immediately.
