Creating Lemon Butter Chicken is a breeze if you follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
2. Heat the Pan: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
3. Cook the Chicken: Add the chicken breasts to the pan and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
4. Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
5. Add Lemon: Stir in the lemon juice, lemon zest, and thyme. Allow the sauce to simmer for a minute.
6. Combine: Return the chicken to the skillet, coating it in the lemon butter sauce.
7. Simmer: Let it simmer for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
8. Garnish: Remove from heat and sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving.

These steps will guide you through making this delightful dish with ease.
