Ingredients
- 4 pieces skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Begin by gently pounding the chicken breasts to an even thickness for uniform cooking.
Step 2
Mince the garlic cloves and chop the fresh parsley finely.
Step 3
In a small bowl, combine the lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper, stirring well to mix.
Step 4
Rub the chicken breasts thoroughly with the lemon juice mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Step 5
In a large non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Step 6
Once the oil is hot, place the chicken breasts in the skillet, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 10 minutes on one side.
Step 7
Flip the chicken breasts over and continue cooking for another 8-10 minutes, or until the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear.
Step 8
Garnish the chicken with the chopped parsley right before serving.
Step 9
Serve the sauteed chicken with a side of your choice, such as steamed vegetables or a fresh salad.
