Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 piece Lemon (for garnish)
Instructions
Begin by placing the chicken breasts between two sheets of parchment paper or plastic wrap. Use a meat mallet to pound them to an even thickness, about 1/2 inch thick.
In a small bowl, mix together garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Rub both sides of the chicken breasts with the spice mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is golden brown.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, add the butter and let it melt over medium heat.
Once the butter has melted, return the chicken breasts to the skillet and spoon the melted butter over them. This will add richness to the flavor.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and lemon wedges before serving.
Serve hot, and enjoy your flavorful keto-friendly savory chicken chops!
