Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken breast (boneless and skinless, cut into strips)
- 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- 1 teaspoon pepper (or to taste)
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 cup chicken broth (low sodium or no sodium added)
- 1 tablespoon Sriracha
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)

Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Begin by seasoning the chicken strips with salt and pepper.
- In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Allow it to become bubbly but not browned.
- Add the seasoned chicken strips to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is browned and cooked through.
- Once the chicken is nearly cooked, add the minced garlic, red pepper flakes, and smoked paprika to the skillet. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant.
- Carefully pour in the chicken broth and Sriracha, stirring to combine. Let the mixture simmer for about 3-5 minutes.
- Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter to the skillet and stir until melted. Remove from heat and stir in the chopped parsley.
- Serve the Garlic Butter Chicken hot, garnished with fresh lemon slices.
