Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Begin by patting dry the chicken breasts with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
Slice the chicken breasts into strips, approximately 1 inch wide, ensuring even sizes for uniform cooking.
In a small bowl, combine garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Sprinkle the spice blend evenly over the chicken strips, ensuring all sides are well coated.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
Carefully add the seasoned chicken strips to the skillet in a single layer, avoiding overcrowding. Cook in batches if necessary.
Sear the chicken strips for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they achieve a golden brown color and are cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C).
During the last minute of cooking, drizzle the chicken strips with lemon juice for a fresh finish.
Remove the chicken strips from the skillet and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the sugar-free seared chicken strips with your choice of side dishes like steamed vegetables or a fresh garden salad.
