Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Start by patting the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. This will help to achieve a nice sear.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Coat the chicken breasts in this marinade and let them sit for at least 30 minutes (or up to overnight in the fridge for maximum flavor).

  3. 3

    Cook the Chicken

    Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

  4. 4

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes. Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
