Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Simple Butter Chicken.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 400°F (200°C), setting the stage for a delicious meal.
Step 2
While the oven warms up, take your chicken breasts and sprinkle them generously with salt, pepper, and a touch of dried tarragon for that aromatic flavor.
Step 3
To brighten things up, drizzle some fresh lemon juice over the chicken, allowing it to marinate for a few moments while you prepare the next steps.
Step 4
In a trusty oven-proof skillet or Dutch oven, melt a pat of butter over medium heat, letting its rich aroma fill your kitchen.
Step 5
Once the butter is beautifully melted, gently add the seasoned chicken, turning each piece to ensure it’s well-coated in that luscious butter.
Step 6
For a little extra flair, cover the chicken with a sheet of parchment paper, then snugly place a lid on the skillet.
Step 7
Now, it’s time to let the magic happen—slide the skillet into your preheated oven and bake for about 10 to 15 minutes.
Step 8
Keep an eye on it, and when the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center, you’ll know it’s ready to shine on your dinner table.
Step 9
Enjoy the delightful flavors and the satisfaction of a home-cooked meal!.
