Step 1
Pat chicken dry. Season with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Step 2
Heat 2 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium-high until it foams. Working in batches, sear chicken 3 minutes per side until golden.
Step 3
Transfer chicken to a plate. Add remaining 1 tbsp butter and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 4
Sprinkle chili powder over the garlic. Stir for 10 seconds. Return chicken and add lemon juice with a pinch of salt.
Step 5
Simmer 3–4 minutes, turning chicken once, until cooked through and sauce clings to the meat.
Step 6
Warm naan directly over a gas flame or in a dry skillet. Serve chicken with naan and spoon sauce over the top.
