Ingredients

  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 0.5 teaspoons salt
  • 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and dried oregano on both sides.

Step 2

Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.

Step 3

Place the chicken breasts in the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and fully cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant.

Step 5

Pour in the chicken broth and lemon juice, scraping the bottom of the pan to deglaze it and combine the flavors.

Step 6

Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it reduce slightly for about 3-4 minutes.

Step 7

Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet and spoon the sauce over the chicken to coat it thoroughly. Let it heat through for an additional 2-3 minutes.

Step 8

Garnish the chicken with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately.
