Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 pieces Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 0.5 cup Chicken stock
Directions
Step 1
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels, then set them aside on a clean plate.
Step 2
In a small bowl, combine the paprika, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a spice rub.
Step 3
Rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the chicken breasts.
Step 4
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Step 5
Finely mince the garlic cloves. Using the same skillet, sauté the garlic for 30 seconds until fragrant, taking care not to burn it.
Step 6
Deglaze the skillet by adding the chicken stock and lemon juice, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
Step 7
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, reduce heat to low, and cover with a lid. Let the chicken simmer for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Step 8
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes.
Step 9
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy Paul's Amazing Chicken with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
