Begin by cleaning and patting the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Cut the chicken into thin strips, approximately 1 inch wide.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.
Add the chicken strips to the marinade, ensuring that each piece is well coated. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 10 minutes.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken strips to the skillet in a single layer. Do not overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if necessary.
Cook the chicken strips for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).
Remove the chicken strips from the skillet and place them on a serving platter. Allow them to rest for a few minutes.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving to add a touch of color and freshness.
Serve the low-carb seared chicken strips with a side of your favorite low-carb vegetables or a crisp salad for a complete meal.
