In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons butter. Season chicken with salt and pepper, and add to the skillet.
Sear chicken pieces on both sides until golden brown, 1-2 minutes per side, then set chicken in prepared baking dish, along with onion slices.
Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter in the same skillet. Add garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes.
