Sear the Chicken: In a large pan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper and cook until golden brown on both sides. Remove and set aside.
Cook the Shrimp: In the same pan, add the remaining butter, then cook the shrimp with garlic until pink and cooked through.
Combine: Return the chicken to the pan, add lemon juice, and sprinkle with chopped parsley.
Serve: Serve hot with a side of vegetables or rice for a complete meal.
One-pan recipes are a lifesaver for busy weeknights, saving time on both cooking and clean-up.
