Season the Chicken<\/h3>\n<p>Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Season generously on both sides with\u00a0<strong>salt, black pepper, paprika, and onion powder<\/strong>. This ensures a flavorful crust when searing.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Sear for Maximum Flavor<\/h3>\n<p>Heat\u00a0<strong>olive oil<\/strong>\u00a0in a large skillet over\u00a0<strong>medium-high heat<\/strong>.<br \/>\nAdd the chicken and cook for\u00a0<strong>5\u20136 minutes per side<\/strong>\u00a0until golden brown and fully cooked (internal temp 165\u00b0F \/ 74\u00b0C).<br \/>\nRemove chicken from the skillet and set aside.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Create the Garlic Butter Base<\/h3>\n<p>Lower the heat to\u00a0<strong>medium<\/strong>.<br \/>\nAdd the\u00a0<strong>butter<\/strong>\u00a0to the same skillet and let it melt slowly.<br \/>\nStir in the\u00a0<strong>minced garlic<\/strong>\u00a0and cook for\u00a0<strong>30\u201360 seconds<\/strong>\u00a0until fragrant (do not brown).<\/p>\n<h3>4. Deglaze the Pan<\/h3>\n<p>Pour in the\u00a0<strong>chicken broth<\/strong>, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. These bits add deep, restaurant-style flavor.<\/p>\n<h3>5. Make It Creamy<\/h3>\n<p>Stir in the\u00a0<strong>heavy cream<\/strong>\u00a0and let the sauce simmer gently for\u00a0<strong>2\u20133 minutes<\/strong>\u00a0until slightly thickened and silky.<\/p>\n<h3>6. Bring It All Together<\/h3>\n<p>Return the chicken to the skillet.<br \/>\nSpoon the sauce over the chicken and simmer for\u00a0<strong>2\u20133 more minutes<\/strong>, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.<\/p>\n<h3>7. Garnish &amp; Serve<\/h3>\n<p>Sprinkle with\u00a0<strong>fresh parsley<\/strong>\u00a0and optional\u00a0<strong>red pepper flakes<\/strong>. Serve hot.<\/p>\n<h2>Best Sides to Serve With Butter Chicken<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Creamy mashed potatoes<\/li>\n<li>Steamed green beans<\/li>\n<li>Buttered corn<\/li>\n<li>Rice or garlic bread<\/li>\n<li>Roasted vegetables<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Pro Tips for the Best Flavor<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Use\u00a0<strong>chicken thighs<\/strong>\u00a0for extra juiciness<\/li>\n<li>Don\u2019t rush the sear \u2013 golden color = flavor<\/li>\n<li>Add a splash of cream if sauce thickens too much<\/li>\n<li>Finish with a small pat of butter for shine<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Storage &amp; Reheating<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Refrigerate:<\/strong>\u00a0up to 3 days in an airtight container<\/li>\n<li><strong>Reheat:<\/strong>\u00a0gently on the stovetop with a splash of cream or broth<\/li>\n<li><strong>Not freezer-friendly<\/strong>\u00a0due to the cream sauce<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Nutrition (Approx.
