Ingredients

Scale

2 skinless, boneless chicken breast fillets (about 150g each)
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

Place the chicken fillets on a cutting board and pat dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, combine the lemon juice, olive oil, dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Brush both sides of the chicken fillets evenly with the marinade and let them sit for 5 minutes at room temperature.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the chicken fillets to the skillet and cook for 7-8 minutes on one side without moving them.
Flip the chicken fillets and cook for another 7-8 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 75°C (165°F) and the chicken is cooked through.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for 3 minutes.
Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the chicken fillets before serving.
