Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 spray olive oil spray
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 piece lemon
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board and use a sharp knife to slice them into even strips, about 1/2 inch wide.
Step 2
In a small bowl, combine the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the seasoning blend.
Step 3
Sprinkle the seasoning blend evenly over the chicken strips, ensuring each piece is well coated.
Step 4
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and lightly coat it with olive oil spray.
Step 5
Once the skillet is hot, add the chicken strips in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding the pan; cook in batches if necessary.
Step 6
Sear the chicken strips for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).
Step 7
Remove the skillet from heat and squeeze the juice of half a lemon over the cooked chicken strips for added flavor.
Step 8
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
