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
Mince the Garlic
Peel the garlic cloves and mince them finely using a knife or a garlic press.
3
Chop the Parsley
Rinse the fresh parsley under cold water, shake off excess moisture, and chop it finely.

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.
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).
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.
