4 tbsp unsalted butter
2 tsp olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare an oven-safe baking dish with nonstick spray.
Cut chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and season generously with salt and pepper.
In a skillet over medium heat, melt half of the butter with olive oil. Sauté minced garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.
