Ingredients
- 2 pieces chicken breasts, boneless & skinless
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Begin by slicing the chicken breasts into strips approximately 1/2 inch thick.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
Place the chicken strips in a large bowl, drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and sprinkle the spice mixture over them. Toss to coat evenly.
Step 4
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 5
Once the skillet is hot, add the chicken strips. Cook them in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Step 6
Sear the chicken strips for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and fully cooked. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
Step 7
Once cooked, transfer the chicken strips to a plate. Drizzle with lemon juice and let them rest for a minute.
Step 8
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired and serve immediately.
