1
Prepare the Ingredients
Gather all the ingredients. Rinse the chicken breasts under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
2
Season the Chicken
In a small bowl, combine salt, black pepper, paprika, and dried oregano (if using). Rub this mixture all over the chicken breasts to season them evenly.

3
Heat the Pan
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
4
Cook the Chicken
Add the seasoned chicken breasts to the skillet. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is golden brown.
5
Add Garlic and Lemon
During the last 2 minutes of cooking, add minced garlic to the skillet and squeeze lemon juice over the chicken. Allow the garlic to cook until fragrant.
6
Garnish and Serve
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
