Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Place the chicken breasts in the heated skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the minced garlic. Sauté for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth and lemon juice, scraping the bottom of the pan to deglaze and release any browned bits.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, making sure they are nestled in the sauce.
Cover the skillet with a lid and simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Sprinkle fresh parsley over the chicken before serving.
Serve hot with a side of your choice, such as rice, pasta, or a light salad.
