Garlic Butter Chicken Cutlets in 25 Min

Instructions:

1. Pat the chicken cutlets completely dry with paper towels to ensure a proper sear.
2. In a shallow bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and pepper. Dredge each cutlet in the mixture, shaking off any excess flour.
3. Heat olive oil and 1 tbsp of butter over medium-high heat until the butter foams.
4. Place cutlets in the skillet in a single layer and cook for 3–4 minutes per side until a deep brown crust forms. Remove chicken to a plate to rest.
5. Reduce heat to medium. Add the remaining 3 tbsp of butter, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes to the pan; cook for 30–60 seconds until fragrant.
6. Stir in the lemon juice, scraping the bottom of the pan to release the browned bits (fond).
7. Return the chicken to the pan for 1 minute, spooning the garlic butter sauce over the meat. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
