Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Rinse the chicken breasts under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Mince the Garlic

    Peel the garlic cloves and mince them finely using a knife or a garlic press.

  3. 3

    Chop the Parsley

    Rinse the fresh parsley under cold water, shake off excess moisture, and chop it finely.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Sauté the Chicken

    Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned chicken breasts to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/75°C). Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

  2. 5

    Make the Garlic Sauce

    In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant (be careful not to burn it).

  3. 6

    Combine and Serve

    Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and pour in the lemon juice. Toss the chicken in the garlic sauce for about 1 minute until well coated. Remove from heat and sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving.
