Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Rub the spice mixture evenly on both sides of the chicken breasts.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, until they are golden brown but not fully cooked through. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside.
Lower the heat to medium-low and pour the chicken broth into the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom with a wooden spoon.
Return the chicken to the skillet, cover with a lid, and let it simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve with your choice of sides, such as rice, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.
