Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Begin by preparing the chicken breast. Place it on a clean cutting board and slice it into evenly sized strips, approximately 1 inch wide.
In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, sea salt, and black pepper. Whisk these ingredients together to create a marinade.
Add the chicken strips to the bowl, ensuring they are well-coated with the marinade. Let the chicken marinate for at least 10 minutes to enhance the flavor.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. When the skillet is hot, add the marinated chicken strips, ensuring they're spread out evenly in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding to allow for proper searing.
Cook the chicken strips for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Use a kitchen thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) for safety.
Once cooked, remove the chicken strips from the skillet and place them on a serving platter.
Drizzle the chicken strips with lemon juice for a fresh burst of flavor.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve the Paleo Seared Chicken Strips immediately with your choice of Paleo-friendly sides such as roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
