Ingredients

• 1 pound Chicken breast
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the chicken breast. Place it on a clean cutting board and slice it into evenly sized strips, approximately 1 inch wide.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, sea salt, and black pepper. Whisk these ingredients together to create a marinade.

Step 3

Add the chicken strips to the bowl, ensuring they are well-coated with the marinade. Let the chicken marinate for at least 10 minutes to enhance the flavor.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. When the skillet is hot, add the marinated chicken strips, ensuring they're spread out evenly in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding to allow for proper searing.

Step 5

Cook the chicken strips for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Use a kitchen thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) for safety.

Step 6

Once cooked, remove the chicken strips from the skillet and place them on a serving platter.

Step 7

Drizzle the chicken strips with lemon juice for a fresh burst of flavor.

Step 8

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Step 9

Serve the Paleo Seared Chicken Strips immediately with your choice of Paleo-friendly sides such as roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
