Ingredients

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon lemon-pepper seasoning
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, patted dry and cut into 1- to 1 1/2-inch pieces
2 tablespoons canola oil, divided
6 garlic cloves, finely chopped (about 2 tablespoons)
1/4 cup chicken stock
1/4 cup butter, cut into pieces
Chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Directions

Mix flour, salt, lemon-pepper seasoning, and garlic powder in a large bowl until combined. Add chicken pieces and gently toss until evenly coated.
Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high; swirl to coat. Once oil is shimmering, add half of the chicken pieces; cook, undisturbed, until browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip chicken pieces, and cook until browned and pieces are cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes more. Remove chicken from skillet, and transfer to a bowl. Repeat the process with the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil and chicken pieces.
Do not wipe skillet clean. Reduce heat in skillet to medium. Add garlic; cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant and lightly golden brown, 20 to 30 seconds.
Pour chicken stock into the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet using a wooden spoon. Cook, stirring occasionally, until liquid is slightly reduced, about 1 minute.
Add butter, 1 piece at a time, and stir until completely melted before adding the next piece. Immediately remove the skillet from the heat. Pour sauce over chicken in a bowl and toss to coat. Garnish with parsley; serve immediately.
