A delightful and vibrant dish that transforms simple chicken breast into an explosion of flavors with Italian herbs, zesty lemon, and garlic.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons Italian seasoning
- 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons high-quality olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- Salt to taste

Instructions
- Season the chicken breast generously with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper on both sides.
- Heat a couple of tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned chicken cutlets.
