  • Author: Emma Carter
  • Total Time: 51 minute

Ingredients

– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
– 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– 1 teaspoon dried oregano
– 1 teaspoon salt
– ½ teaspoon black pepper
– 1 tablespoon lemon juice
– Optional: Fresh herbs for garnish


Instructions

Creating Cowboy Butter Chicken is a straightforward process. Follow these easy steps for a delicious meal:

1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and allow it to preheat while you prepare the chicken.

2. Prepare the Chicken: Season each chicken breast with salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, onion powder, and dried oregano. Make sure to coat them evenly.

3. Make the Butter Sauce: In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, and lemon juice. This sauce will add incredible flavor.

4. Transfer to Baking Dish: Arrange the seasoned chicken breasts in a baking dish. Pour the butter sauce over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well-coated.

5. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and has an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

6. Baste Occasionally: Halfway through cooking, spoon additional butter sauce over the chicken for extra juiciness.

7. Rest the Chicken: Once cooked, remove the baking dish from the oven and let the chicken rest for about 5 minutes. This allows juices to redistribute, keeping the meat tender and juicy.

8. Garnish: Before serving, garnish with additional fresh parsley or herbs for a pop of color and flavor.

9. Serve: Slice the chicken for easy serving, and drench it with the remaining butter sauce from the baking dish.
