Steps:
- Combine butter, garlic, salt, oregano and cayenne pepper.
- Cut a 2-inch long pocket horizontally in chicken breasts, cutting deeply but not all the way through.
- Put a tablespoon of the butter mixture into each pocket, being sure to get it all the way down in there.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil.
- Cook chicken, skin side down, uncovered,until well-browned, about 10 minutes.
- Turn chicken and cover skillet, then cook until chicken is cooked through, another 10 to 15 minutes.
- Uncover, spread the remaining garlic-oregano butter on the chicken and turn chicken once more skin-side down.
- Cover and brown for another 5 to 10 minutes.
Tips:
- Use fresh herbs: Fresh garlic and oregano will give your butter the best flavor. If you don't have fresh herbs, you can use dried herbs, but use half the amount.
- Let the butter soften: Before you mix the herbs and spices into the butter, let it soften at room temperature for about 30 minutes. This will make it easier to mix and spread.
- Use unsalted butter: Salted butter can make your garlic oregano butter too salty. If you only have salted butter, omit the salt in the recipe.
- Store the butter in an airtight container: Garlic oregano butter can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. You can also freeze it for up to 3 months.
