Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 spray olive oil spray
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 piece lemon
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board and use a sharp knife to slice them into even strips, about 1/2 inch wide.
In a small bowl, combine the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the seasoning blend.
Sprinkle the seasoning blend evenly over the chicken strips, ensuring each piece is well coated.
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and lightly coat it with olive oil spray.
Once the skillet is hot, add the chicken strips in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding the pan; cook in batches if necessary.
Sear the chicken strips for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).
Remove the skillet from heat and squeeze the juice of half a lemon over the cooked chicken strips for added flavor.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
