Instructions 

  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper.
  • Sear chicken skin-side down until golden brown, about 5–6 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
  • In the same pan, melt butter and add sliced onions. Cook until soft and translucent.
  • Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
