Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 100 grams Chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 cloves Minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons Paprika (optional for color)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Trim any visible fat from the chicken breast and pound it lightly with a meat mallet to ensure even cooking.
Season the chicken on both sides with salt, black pepper, and paprika (if using).
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, minced garlic, and water.
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Place the chicken breast in the skillet and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side, until lightly browned.
Pour the lemon juice mixture over the chicken and reduce the heat to low. Cover the skillet with a lid to trap moisture.
Cook the chicken for an additional 8-10 minutes, turning it occasionally, 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 2-3 minutes before slicing.
If desired, garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy a healthy, HCG-friendly meal!
