Garlic and Oregano Stove Top Chicken

INGREDIENTS 

1 garlic clove, minced

1⁄4 teaspoon salt

4 tablespoons butter, softened

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1⁄4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

2 bone-in chicken breasts, with skin

1 -2 tablespoon olive oil

DIRECTIONS

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.
