Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • Juice of 2 lemons
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Lemon slices (for garnish)

Instructions

Follow these simple steps to create your Lemon Garlic Chicken Skillet:

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Season both sides of the chicken breasts generously with salt, pepper, and dried oregano.
  2. Heat the Skillet: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  3. Cook the Chicken: Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they reach a golden-brown color and the internal temperature reads 165°F (75°C). Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  4. Sauté the Garlic: In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Add the Lemon Juice: Pour in the lemon juice and lemon zest, stirring to combine and deglaze the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the chicken.
  6. Return Chicken to Skillet: Add the chicken back to the skillet and spoon the pan sauce over it. Allow to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to absorb flavors.
  7. Garnish: Remove from heat and sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the top. Add lemon slices for presentation.
  8. Serve: Plate your chicken and drizzle the lemon-garlic sauce from the skillet over it.

By following these steps, you'll create an incredible Lemon Garlic Chicken Skillet that tantalizes the taste buds!
