Recipe Information
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 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board and using a sharp knife, slice them into even strips, about 1/2 inch wide.
In a large bowl, combine the chicken strips with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to ensure even coating.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken strips in a single layer, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. You may need to cook them in batches.
Cook the chicken strips for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Use a meat thermometer to check for a safe internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Once cooked, remove the chicken strips from the skillet and drizzle with fresh lemon juice. Toss gently to combine.
Transfer the chicken strips to a serving platter and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley for a fresh, vibrant finish.
Serve immediately, and enjoy your Dairy-Free Seared Chicken Strips!
