Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board and pound them lightly to an even thickness for consistent cooking. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, mix together garlic powder, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and pepper.
Rub the chicken breasts on both sides with olive oil, then evenly coat them with the spice mixture.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the seasoned chicken breasts to the skillet.
Cook the chicken for 5-6 minutes on the first side, then flip and cook for another 4-5 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the skillet and set aside on a plate, tented loosely with foil to keep warm.
Deglaze the skillet by adding the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Let the broth simmer for 2-3 minutes to slightly reduce, creating a flavorful sauce.
Pour the sauce over the cooked chicken and garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired.
Serve immediately with your choice of sides, such as steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.
