Ingredients

• 4 pieces chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic cloves
• 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness, about 1/2 inch, to ensure even cooking.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix together the smoked paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Rub the spice mixture all over the chicken breasts, coating them evenly.

Step 4

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Place the chicken breasts in the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 6

Lower the heat to medium and deglaze the skillet by adding the chicken broth and lemon juice. Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon.

Step 7

Let the sauce simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly. Add the chicken back into the skillet and spoon the sauce over the top.

Step 8

Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, allowing the chicken to absorb the flavors of the sauce.

Step 9

Garnish the chicken with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Step 10

Serve hot with your choice of side dishes, such as rice, roasted vegetables, or salad.
