Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Cut the boneless chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and season with salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Let it marinate for about 15 minutes.

    Sauté Garlic

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Do not let it burn.

  3. 3

    Cook Chicken

    Add the marinated chicken pieces to the skillet and cook until they are browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add Spices

    Stir in red pepper flakes and chopped parsley. Cook for another 2 minutes to combine flavors.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove from heat and serve hot, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
