Step 1
1. Heat butter in a skillet. Do not use vegetable oil here, so as not to overpower the sauce flavor. Wash the chicken fillet and pat dry. Season both sides with salt and pepper to taste. You can add your favorite spices or dried herbs, or even marinate the chicken beforehand. Place the fillet in the skillet and sear over high heat until a crust forms—this will help seal in the meat juices.
