Ingredients
- 1 pound Chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Cut the chicken breasts into thin strips, about 1 inch wide, ensuring uniformity for even cooking.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to create a marinade.
Step 3
Add the chicken strips to the marinade, ensuring each strip is well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
Step 4
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the marinated chicken strips in the skillet in a single layer. You may need to cook them in batches depending on the size of your skillet.
Step 5
Sear the chicken strips for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they develop a nice golden brown color and are cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F).
Step 6
Remove the chicken strips from the skillet and allow them to rest for a few minutes.
Step 7
Before serving, squeeze fresh lemon juice over the chicken strips for added brightness.
Step 8
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately with your favorite Whole30 side dishes.
