Zesty Lemon Herb Chicken
Ingredients
  • 2 (5 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
  • 1 medium lemon, juiced, divided
  • salt to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pinch dried oregano
  • 2 sprigs fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions
1
Begin by placing the chicken in a container, then pour half of the lemon juice over it and sprinkle some salt on top to enhance its flavor.
2
Next, heat a moderate amount of olive oil in a medium-sized cooking vessel over a relatively low heat setting. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the chicken into it and add the remaining lemon juice along with some dried oregano. Finally, sprinkle a pinch of black pepper over the top to add depth to the dish.
3
Continue cooking the chicken until it reaches a golden brown color and the juices flow freely, which should take around 5 to 10 minutes per side. To ensure it's cooked correctly, insert an instant-read thermometer into the center of the chicken and verify that it reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Finally, garnish the cooked chicken with some fresh parsley leaves to add a pop of color and freshness before serving.
