Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Instructions
Begin by preparing the chicken breasts: place each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap.
Using a meat mallet or rolling pin, gently pound the chicken to a uniform thickness of about 1/2 inch.
Cut the pounded chicken breasts into strips, each roughly 1 inch wide.
In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and Italian seasoning.
Add the chicken strips to the bowl and toss well to ensure they are thoroughly coated with the seasoning mixture.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned chicken strips to the skillet in a single layer.
Sear the chicken strips for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they develop a golden-brown crust and are cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).
Transfer the cooked chicken strips to a plate and cover to keep warm.
Serve hot with your choice of keto-friendly sides, such as steamed vegetables or a fresh salad.
