Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside on a plate.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
Add the chicken broth, lemon juice, and dried oregano to the skillet. Stir to combine and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet and spoon some of the sauce over them. Cover the skillet with a lid and simmer for 4-5 minutes to let the flavors meld.
Uncover the skillet and allow the sauce to reduce slightly for about 2-3 minutes.
Garnish the chicken with fresh parsley before serving and spoon some of the sauce over the top for extra flavor.
Serve warm with your choice of sides, such as steamed vegetables, rice, or a crisp salad.
