Ingredients
- 1 pound Chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Begin by rinsing the chicken breasts under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
Step 2
Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board and, using a sharp knife, slice them into evenly sized strips, about half an inch wide.
Step 3
In a small bowl, combine the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, and dried thyme.
Step 4
Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the chicken strips, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Step 5
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Step 6
Once the oil is hot, add the chicken strips to the skillet in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding the pan, cooking in batches if necessary.
Step 7
Cook the chicken strips for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they develop a golden-brown crust and are cooked through.
Step 8
Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the cooked chicken strips, add fresh parsley, and toss to coat evenly.
Step 9
Remove from the pan and serve immediately, garnished with additional fresh parsley if desired.
