Equipment

1 cutting board & sharp knife
1 mixing bowl
1 large skillet
1 meat thermometer

Ingredients

6 medium chicken breasts - or 3 large, cut in half
4 tbsp. flour
2 tbsp. unsalted butter
1 tsp. Herbs de Provence
½ tsp. garlic powder
½ tsp. salt
½ tsp. pepper

Instructions

Either pound 6 medium chicken breasts flat, or slice 3 large chicken breasts in half so that they cook evenly. Pat them dry with a paper towel, and liberally sprinkle each side with Herbs de Provence, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
In a mixing bowl, add 4 tbsp. flour. Press herbed chicken breasts into the flour until completely covered, shaking off excess.
Add 2 tbsp. butter to a skillet and sauté chicken for 5 minutes on one side until brown.
Flip, and sauté for another 4-5 minutes until a meat thermometer reads 165 F. (73 C.) in the thickest part. Remove, tent with foil and allow it to rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

To make Herbs de Provence from scratch: Mix ½ tsp. thyme, 1 tsp. rosemary, 1 tsp. savory, 1 tsp. oregano, 1 tsp. marjoram and 1 tsp. chopped, dried lavender flowers.

They will stay fresh when stored and refrigerated in a container with a lid for 3 days.

This recipe is best when served with White Wine Mushroom Sauce.
