Ingredients

• 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 piece lemon

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the chicken breasts: using a sharp knife, cut the chicken breasts into thin strips, about half an inch wide.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

Step 3

Add the chicken strips to the bowl and toss them with the spice mix until they are evenly coated. Set aside.

Step 4

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot and shimmering, add the chicken strips in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding the pan; if necessary, cook in batches.

Step 5

Sear the chicken strips for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).

Step 6

While the chicken is cooking, cut the lemon in half and juice it. Optional: Reserve a few slices for garnish.

Step 7

Once the chicken strips are cooked, remove the skillet from the heat. Drizzle the lemon juice over the chicken and toss to coat.

Step 8

Transfer the seared chicken strips to a serving plate. Garnish with lemon slices if desired.

Step 9

Serve hot, and enjoy your flavorful seared chicken strips!
