This garlic butter chicken is an easy, comforting dinner that tastes rich, bright, and satisfying with a silky garlic butter sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pork tenderloins (about 1 to 1½ pounds each), trimmed and patted dry
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour (for dredging)
  • ½ cup low-sodium chicken stock
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter (divided into chunks)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced or finely diced)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (finely chopped)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for cooking)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt (plus more to taste)
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper (plus more to taste)
  • 1 lemon (divided into 4 wedges for serving)

Instructions

  1. In a shallow dish, combine the flour, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix evenly.
  2. Butterfly the pork tenderloins through the center into 4 pieces and dredge in the flour mixture. Press the flour lightly so it adheres, then shake off excess.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the pork and cook for 3 to 5 minutes on each side until golden. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
  4. Lower the heat to medium, add minced garlic to the pan, and cook for 1 to 2 minutes until fragrant. Add chicken stock and scrape up browned bits.
  5. Add remaining butter and whisk until melted. Stir in chopped parsley and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
  6. Return the pork to the pan, spoon sauce over it, and simmer for a few minutes. Serve with a drizzle of sauce and a squeeze of lemon.

Notes

Pat the pork dry before cooking for an even crust. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
