Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a small bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice to create a marinade.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure the chicken is evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

  3. 3

    Cook the Chicken

    Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken breasts and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice golden color.

  4. 4

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove the chicken from the skillet, let it rest for a couple of minutes, then garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
