Cooking Instructions
- 1
Prepare the Chicken
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. This helps to achieve a nice sear.

Season the Chicken
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Rub this mixture all over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are evenly coated. Squeeze lemon juice over the chicken.

Cook the Chicken
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts to the skillet. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on one side without moving them, until they are golden brown.

Flip and Finish Cooking
Flip the chicken breasts and reduce the heat to medium. Cook for another 5-7 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

Rest and Serve
Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
