Chicken Preparation
Method
Chicken Cooking
- 1
Prepare the Chicken
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. This helps to achieve a good sear.
- 2
Season the Chicken
In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Rub this spice mixture evenly over both sides of the chicken breasts.
- 3
Heat the Pan
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- 4
Sear the Chicken
Carefully place the seasoned chicken breasts in the hot skillet. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on one side until a golden-brown crust forms.
- 5
Flip the Chicken
Using tongs, flip the chicken breasts over and cook for an additional 5-6 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- 6
Add Lemon Juice
Once cooked through, remove the chicken from the skillet and drizzle with fresh lemon juice. Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
- 7
Slice and Serve
Slice the chicken into strips or bite-sized pieces and serve warm over your favorite salad.
