Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel and season both sides evenly with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Place the seasoned chicken breasts in the skillet and cook for 6-7 minutes on one side without moving them to allow a golden crust to form.
Flip the chicken breasts and cook for another 6-7 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
In the last minute of cooking, drizzle the lemon juice over the chicken for a fresh, zesty finish.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and allow it to rest for 3-5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with your favorite side dishes, such as rice, roasted vegetables, or a green salad.
