Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the chicken
Rinse the chicken breasts under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
- 2
Marinate the chicken
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Rub this mixture evenly over the chicken breasts. If time allows, marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator for more flavor.
Cooking

Preheat the skillet
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat for about 2-3 minutes.

Cook the chicken
Add the marinated chicken breasts to the hot skillet. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on one side until golden brown, then flip and cook for another 6-7 minutes on the other side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
- 5
Rest the chicken
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Garnish and serve
Slice the chicken and sprinkle with fresh parsley (if using) before serving.
