Description

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
  • Pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken breast generously with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper on both sides.
  2. Heat a couple of tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned chicken cutlets.
  3. Sear the chicken for about 5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
  4. Add minced garlic and lemon juice to the pan. Cook for another minute, allowing the garlic to soften and the chicken to get a nice, crisp finish.

Notes

Marinating the chicken for at least 30 minutes enhances flavors. Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken reaches 165°F (75°C).
