Pat chicken dry. Evenly sprinkle both sides with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, warm olive oil and 1 tablespoon unsalted butter. Arrange chicken in the skillet and sear each side for 5 to 6 minutes until deeply golden and the internal temperature registers 165°F. Remove chicken and set aside.

Reduce heat to medium. Add remaining 1 tablespoon unsalted butter to the same skillet. Pour in chicken broth (1/4 cup, if desired) and use a wooden spatula to scrape up the browned bits. Allow sauce to simmer for 2 to 3 minutes. Optionally, add a splash of lemon juice to brighten flavor.

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Spoon sauce over the pieces and cook for another 2 minutes, basting with pan juices.

Transfer chicken to serving plates. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.
# Extra Tips:

For best results, allow the seasoned chicken to rest at room temperature for 10 minutes before searing.
