Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1.5 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board and, if needed, pound them to an even thickness for consistent cooking.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, honey, paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Rub the marinade all over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are evenly coated. Let the chicken marinate for at least 15 minutes or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator if you have time.
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil if needed to prevent sticking.
Sear the chicken breasts for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown. For extra flavor, spoon some of the marinade over the chicken as it cooks.
Pour the chicken broth into the pan. Lower the heat to medium-low, cover, and let the chicken simmer for an additional 10-12 minutes until fully cooked. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
Remove the chicken from the pan and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with chopped parsley if desired, and serve the Yummy Chicken with a side of vegetables, rice, or potatoes.
