I reimagined our viral cowboy butter steak as a pan-seared chicken skillet with a herby, zingy sauce that's perfect for date nights or weeknight dinners.

Total time: PT45M

Ingredients
- 2 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
- 4 (6- to 8-0z.) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tsp. kosher salt, divided
- 1 tsp. freshly ground black pepper, divided
- 1/2 c. (1 stick) unsalted butter
- 1 medium shallot, finely chopped
- 5 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 1/2 c. (or more) low-sodium chicken broth
- 4 tsp. Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp. horseradish
- 1 tsp. smoked paprika
- 3 tbsp. thinly sliced chives, plus more for serving
- 2 tbsp. finely chopped fresh parsley
- 2 tsp. finely chopped fresh thyme

Instructions
1. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat oil. Season chicken on all sides with 1/2 tsp. salt and 1/2 tsp. pepper. Cook chicken, turning halfway through, until golden brown, 7 to 8 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
2. Reduce heat to medium and melt butter. Add shallot and garlic and cook, stirring, just until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add broth, mustard, horseradish, paprika, chives, parsley, and thyme, and whisk to combine; season with remaining 1/2 tsp. salt and 1/2 tsp. pepper.
3. Bring mixture to a low simmer. Return chicken and any accumulated juices to skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of chicken registers 165° and sauce is slightly reduced, 8 to 10 minutes, depending on thickness of chicken. If liquid reduces too much, add 1 to 2 Tbsp. broth to loosen into a pourable sauce.
4. Serve chicken with sauce poured over. Sprinkle with chives.
