DIRECTIONS :

1. In a mixing bowl, add garlic, olive oil, dried thyme, lemon juice, brown sugar, and red pepper flakes. Whisk everything until well incorporated.
2. Use paper towels to pat dry the chicken breasts. Sprinkle salt and pepper on top, then toss to coat.
3. Place a large skillet on the stove and turn the heat to medium-high. Add butter and allow it to melt.
4. Add the chicken breasts into the hot skillet, then sear for 4 minutes on one side. Flip and brush the top with the garlic mixture.
5. Turn the heat down to medium, then cook for 10 minutes. Dish out!

Notes:

• Feel free to use chicken thighs if you prefer.
• Place any leftovers in an airtight container, then put them in the fridge. They can last up to 4 days. Reheat for a few minutes before serving again.
• I highly recommend serving this over rice or pasta.
• Feel free to make this dish keto-friendly. I suggest using Swerve instead of sugar.
