Yeah I should have asked more specifically If anyone has a marinade they love or a pan sauce to make that isn't loaded with butter.

Plenty of my pan sauces exclude butter, and I'm on the opposite of a diet After searing them in a pan [preferably not nonstick], toss some onions and garlic in there and sautee, scraping up all the brown bits that stuck to the pan. Then deglaze with chicken broth (some white wine too if you like---not much). Season and add some herbs. Add a good dijon or honey mustard if you want to get it really flavorful, but not necessary. Bring to a hard simmer and let reduce to a nice thick sauce.
Some people lightly dust the chicken with flour before pan searing because it will make more crust on the pan (and more crust on the chicken). Nothing crazy--just a tiny dusting. This will help thicken the sauce too.



Salmon's chimichurri suggestion is good too. Season and grill. Then eat with homemade chimichurri. Simple and good.

Why do you not want it to have butter? Butter is very good for you. You need those healthy fats.
