Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing the chicken marinade. In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, sriracha sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and salt. Whisk until well combined.
Step 2
Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are thoroughly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more intense flavor.
Step 3
When ready to cook, heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add a splash of cooking spray if needed to prevent sticking.
Step 4
Once hot, add the marinated chicken breasts to the skillet. Cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is browned and cooked through with an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
Step 5
Reduce the heat to low and pour the chicken broth into the skillet. Allow the chicken to simmer gently in the broth for an additional 5 minutes, which will ensure the chicken remains moist.
Step 6
Transfer the cooked chicken to a serving platter and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
Step 7
Serve the Low Fat Angry Chicken hot and enjoy its fiery, flavorful profile with your favorite low-fat sides, such as steamed vegetables or a light salad.
