Food and Recipes Meat Chicken Recipes 30-Minute Garlic Butter Chicken Is A New Dinner Favorite 5.0 (6) 5 Reviews There's always room for another easy chicken recipe on our table, and this garlic butter chicken is the new favorite. Ready in just 30 minutes, it features a garlicky, buttery pan sauce over chicken cutlets. We chose cutlets so they would cook faster in the skillet, but you could use thighs. Serve with asparagus, a fresh tomato-cucumber salad, or simple roasted potatoes for an easy weeknight dinner.
