Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 2 teaspoons Fresh thyme, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 4 slices Lemon slices
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 4 cups Mixed greens
Directions
Step 1
Start by trimming any excess fat from the chicken breasts. Place a chicken breast between two pieces of plastic wrap or parchment paper. Using a meat mallet, gently pound the chicken to an even thickness of about 1/4 inch. Repeat with remaining pieces.
Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, and black pepper to make a marinade.
Step 3
Place the pounded chicken breasts in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure each piece is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Step 4
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Place the chicken in the skillet, being careful not to overcrowd. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Step 5
Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the pan and let it rest for a few minutes. This ensures the juices redistribute, keeping the chicken moist.
Step 6
To serve, lay the mixed greens on a serving platter or individual plates. Arrange the chicken paillard on top of the greens.
Step 7
Garnish each serving with a lemon slice and a sprinkle of fresh parsley for an added burst of flavor.
Step 8
Serve immediately and enjoy a flavorful, low sodium meal!
