Garlic Butter Chicken

Print Recipe

Warm, garlicky, and irresistibly silky, this Garlic Butter Chicken is a weeknight hero that tastes like a special occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pork tenderloins (about 1 to 1 ½ pounds each)
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup low-sodium chicken stock
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter (divided into chunks)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (finely chopped)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 lemon (divided into 4 wedges for serving)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dredge: In a shallow dish, combine the flour, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
  2. Butterfly the pork tenderloins: Slice each tenderloin horizontally almost through, then open them. Dredge in the flour mixture and shake off excess.
  3. Heat the pan: Add olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter to a large frying pan over medium-high heat.
  4. Sear the pork: Cook the pork for 3 to 5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  5. Lower the heat and cook garlic: Add minced garlic to the pan and cook for 1 to 2 minutes until fragrant.
  6. Deglaze the pan: Pour in chicken stock, using a spatula to scrape up the browned bits.
  7. Finish the sauce: Whisk in the remaining butter until melted and the sauce is smooth. Stir in parsley.
  8. Return pork to the pan, spoon the sauce over it, and serve immediately with lemon wedges.

Notes

Pat the pork dry before dredging for a better crust. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
