Cooking Instructions

  1. 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. 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. 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. 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.
