Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 4 units garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Start by patting the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel to ensure they brown nicely.
Step 2
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and heat until it shimmers.
Step 3
Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Step 4
Place the chicken breasts in the skillet and cook each side for about 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C). Remove and set aside.
Step 5
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Step 6
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Step 7
Pour in the lemon juice and chicken broth. Add the dried oregano and thyme, then bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Step 8
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the pan sauce over the top.
Step 9
Let the chicken cook in the sauce for an additional 2-3 minutes to absorb the flavors, turning the chicken once.
Step 10
Sprinkle fresh chopped parsley over the chicken before serving for a burst of color and flavor.
Step 11
Serve the soy-free sautéed chicken immediately, accompanied by your choice of side dishes such as roasted vegetables or a fresh green salad.
