Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing the chicken breasts: place each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap.
Step 2
Using a meat mallet or rolling pin, gently pound the chicken to a uniform thickness of about 1/2 inch.
Step 3
Cut the pounded chicken breasts into strips, each roughly 1 inch wide.
Step 4
In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and Italian seasoning.
Step 5
Add the chicken strips to the bowl and toss well to ensure they are thoroughly coated with the seasoning mixture.
Step 6
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned chicken strips to the skillet in a single layer.
Step 7
Sear the chicken strips for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they develop a golden-brown crust and are cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).
Step 8
Transfer the cooked chicken strips to a plate and cover to keep warm.
Step 9
Serve hot with your choice of keto-friendly sides, such as steamed vegetables or a fresh salad.
