Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Take the 1/4 lb. chicken breast and rinse it under cold water. Pat it dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Coat the chicken breast evenly with the marinade and let it sit for at least 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Cook the Chicken

    Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken breast to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is golden brown.

  2. 4

    Rest and Serve

    Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm with your choice of sides.
