Ingredients

• 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 4 pieces lemon wedges

Directions

Step 1

Begin by placing a chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap or parchment paper. Using a meat mallet or rolling pin, gently pound the chicken until it is about 1/4-inch thick. Repeat with the second chicken breast.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine the garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, sea salt, and black pepper. Sprinkle this seasoning mixture evenly over both sides of the pounded chicken breasts.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts to the skillet.

Step 4

Cook the chicken for 3-4 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.

Step 5

Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and transfer to a plate. Drizzle the fresh lemon juice over the top of the chicken.

Step 6

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.

Step 7

Enjoy your Paleo Chicken Paillard immediately with your choice of Paleo-friendly sides, such as a green salad or roasted vegetables.
