Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 4 pieces lemon wedges
Instructions
Begin by placing a chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap or parchment paper. Using a meat mallet or rolling pin, gently pound the chicken until it is about 1/4-inch thick. Repeat with the second chicken breast.
In a small bowl, combine the garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, sea salt, and black pepper. Sprinkle this seasoning mixture evenly over both sides of the pounded chicken breasts.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts to the skillet.
Cook the chicken for 3-4 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and transfer to a plate. Drizzle the fresh lemon juice over the top of the chicken.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
Enjoy your Paleo Chicken Paillard immediately with your choice of Paleo-friendly sides, such as a green salad or roasted vegetables.
