Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 piece lemon
Instructions
Start by preparing the chicken breasts: using a sharp knife, cut the chicken breasts into thin strips, about half an inch wide.
In a mixing bowl, combine the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Add the chicken strips to the bowl and toss them with the spice mix until they are evenly coated. Set aside.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot and shimmering, add the chicken strips in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding the pan; if necessary, cook in batches.
Sear the chicken strips for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
While the chicken is cooking, cut the lemon in half and juice it. Optional: Reserve a few slices for garnish.
Once the chicken strips are cooked, remove the skillet from the heat. Drizzle the lemon juice over the chicken and toss to coat.
Transfer the seared chicken strips to a serving plate. Garnish with lemon slices if desired.
Serve hot, and enjoy your flavorful seared chicken strips!
