Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts on a cutting board and slice them into evenly sized strips, about 1 inch thick.
In a small bowl, combine the garlic powder, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over the chicken strips, ensuring they are well coated.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the chicken strips, arranging them in a single layer. Cook for 3–4 minutes without moving, until the bottom side is golden brown and releases easily from the skillet.
Flip the chicken strips and reduce the heat to medium. Cook for another 3–4 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Drizzle 1 tablespoon of lemon juice over the cooked chicken and toss gently to coat.
Transfer the chicken strips to a serving plate and optionally garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
Serve warm with your choice of side dishes, such as rice, salad, or roasted vegetables.
