Ingredients

• 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 cup Chicken broth (or water)
• 1 piece Lemon (optional, for garnish)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Using a sharp knife, carefully cut each breast into thinner cutlets if they are particularly thick.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix garlic powder, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil, then evenly sprinkle the seasoning mixture on both sides of the chicken.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear them for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to medium-low, pour the chicken broth (or water) into the skillet, and cover with a lid. Let the chicken cook for an additional 6-8 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 6

Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 7

Optional: Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and lemon slices for added freshness and flavor.

Step 8

Serve warm with your favorite side dishes, such as roasted vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.
