1 small garlic cloved, minced and smashed to a paste
1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
Make Butter:
Allow butter to soften at room temperature.
Mince garlic and then press into a paste. Use a garlic press or microplane or use the back of your knife and carefully smash down garlic with a little salt.
When butter is soft: add all ingredients to a bowl and mix (by hand or food processor) to incorporate.
Lay out a piece of parchment paper and form a log with the mixed butter. You can also just use the butter as is and not form the log or refrigerate and slice into tabs.
Tightly roll and twist to seal. There may be some excess lemon juice that won’t incorporate. Don’t worry about it, but put the butter log on a plate so it doesn’t leak on your refrigerator.
Refrigerate for 1-2 hours or place in freezer for 20 minutes if in a hurry.
Slice thinly once it's cold enough to hold it's form. One slice of butter for each piece of chicken.
For The Chicken:
Dry the chicken with paper towels.
Salt and pepper the chicken. You will need to fry in two batches if the pan is not big enough to hold all the chicken.
Bring a large pan to medium high heat and add enough oil to lightly cover the bottom of the pan. Pan fry the cutlets ~3-4 minutes per side or until juices run clear and internal temperature reaches 165F.
Turn off heat and add a tab or two of butter to the cutlets until melted.
Swirl chicken around in pan to soak up any remaining butter and plate and serve.
