Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Begin by patting the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. This will help them to brown nicely when cooking.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
Generously season both sides of each chicken breast with the spice mixture.
Step 4
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it is shimmering but not smoking.
Step 5
Add the seasoned chicken breasts to the skillet. Allow them to cook undisturbed for about 6-7 minutes on the first side to get a nice sear.
Step 6
Flip the chicken and reduce the heat to medium. Continue cooking for another 5-7 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Step 7
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes.
Step 8
Just before serving, drizzle the cooked chicken with fresh lemon juice and sprinkle with chopped parsley.
Step 9
Serve the sautéed chicken hot, paired with your favorite Whole30-compliant sides or a fresh salad.
