INGREDIENTS
- Boneless
- skinless chicken breast halves
- Chopped parsley
- Crushed red pepper flakes
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- garlic cloves
- ground black pepper

DIRECTIONS
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium. Season the chicken with 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and pepper. Add half of the chicken to the skillet and cook, turning once, until just cooked through, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate then add the remaining chicken to the skillet and repeat.
- Return the skillet to the stove and add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and butter. Stir in the onion, garlic and pepper flakes and cook, stirring often, until the garlic just starts to brown, about 5-6 minutes. Stir in the chicken and cook until heated through, about 1-2 minutes. Add the parsley, lemon juice and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt
