- Ingredients:
- 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- Juice of 1 large lemon
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Lemon wedges for garnish
- In a medium bowl, toss the chicken pieces with olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, oregano, paprika, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Let it marinate for 15-20 minutes.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken pieces in a single layer.
- Cook the chicken for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and fully cooked through. Avoid overcrowding the skillet; cook in batches if necessary.
- Once all the chicken is cooked, return it to the skillet and toss with fresh parsley.
- Serve hot with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of citrus flavor.
