Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Marinade

In a bowl, mix the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.

2

Marinate the Chicken

Place the chicken breasts in the marinade and ensure they are fully coated. Cover and let them marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

3

Cook the Chicken

Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken breasts to the skillet. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown.

4

Garnish and Serve

Remove the chicken from the skillet, let it rest for a few minutes, then garnish with fresh parsley. Serve hot with your choice of sides.
