Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Step 2
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 3
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside on a plate.
Step 4
Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
Step 5
Add the chicken broth, lemon juice, and dried oregano to the skillet. Stir to combine and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
Step 6
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet and spoon some of the sauce over them. Cover the skillet with a lid and simmer for 4-5 minutes to let the flavors meld.
Step 7
Uncover the skillet and allow the sauce to reduce slightly for about 2-3 minutes.
Step 8
Garnish the chicken with fresh parsley before serving and spoon some of the sauce over the top for extra flavor.
Step 9
Serve warm with your choice of sides, such as steamed vegetables, rice, or a crisp salad.
