Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and dried oregano on both sides.
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Place the chicken breasts in the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and fully cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth and lemon juice, scraping the bottom of the pan to deglaze it and combine the flavors.
Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it reduce slightly for about 3-4 minutes.
Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet and spoon the sauce over the chicken to coat it thoroughly. Let it heat through for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Garnish the chicken with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately.
