Ingredients

• 1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Begin by cleaning and patting the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Cut the chicken into thin strips, approximately 1 inch wide.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.

Step 3

Add the chicken strips to the marinade, ensuring that each piece is well coated. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 10 minutes.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken strips to the skillet in a single layer. Do not overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if necessary.

Step 5

Cook the chicken strips for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).

Step 6

Remove the chicken strips from the skillet and place them on a serving platter. Allow them to rest for a few minutes.

Step 7

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving to add a touch of color and freshness.

Step 8

Serve the low-carb seared chicken strips with a side of your favorite low-carb vegetables or a crisp salad for a complete meal.
