- In a shallow dish, place the flour, then coat the chicken, shaking the excess off.
- In a large skillet, melt most of the butter over high heat, reserving about a tsp for later. Once the butter has melted, add the chicken to the skillet and cook for about 2 to 3 minutes until golden. Flip and continue to cook the other sides for a minute more.
