Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt, black pepper, paprika, and dried Italian seasoning.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the minced garlic. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
Pour the chicken broth into the skillet, scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon to release any browned bits.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet and reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired and serve warm. Pair with a side of vegetables, rice, or a simple salad for a complete meal.
