Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, paprika, and lemon juice. Add chicken breasts to the marinade and ensure they are well coated. Cover and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

Cooking

  1. 2

    Preheat the Pan

    Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add a little olive oil to the pan.

  2. 3

    Cook the Chicken

    Once the skillet is hot, place the marinated chicken breasts in the pan. 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.

  3. 4

    Garnish and Serve

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