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 (or water)
- 1 piece Lemon (optional, for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Using a sharp knife, carefully cut each breast into thinner cutlets if they are particularly thick.
In a small bowl, mix garlic powder, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil, then evenly sprinkle the seasoning mixture on both sides of the chicken.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear them for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
Reduce the heat to medium-low, pour the chicken broth (or water) into the skillet, and cover with a lid. Let the chicken cook for an additional 6-8 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Optional: Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and lemon slices for added freshness and flavor.
Serve warm with your favorite side dishes, such as roasted vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.
