QUICK AND EASY DINNER RECIPE CHICKEN

Ingredients
  

  • Ingredients:
  • - 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • - 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • - 1 teaspoon paprika
  • - Salt and pepper to taste
  • - 1 cup chicken broth
  • - 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • - Fresh parsley for garnish optional

Instructions
 

  • Cooking Instructions:
  • Begin by seasoning the chicken breasts with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper on both sides. Make sure they're evenly coated to maximize flavor.
  • In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned chicken breasts to the skillet. Cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until they're golden brown and cooked through.
  • Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the skillet and set it aside on a plate. In the same skillet, pour in the chicken broth and lemon juice, scraping the bottom of the pan to deglaze and incorporate any flavorful bits.
  • Bring the broth to a simmer, then return the chicken to the skillet. Allow it to simmer in the broth for an additional 3-4 minutes to soak up the flavors.
  • Remove the skillet from heat and garnish the chicken with fresh parsley if desired. Serve the chicken with the broth drizzled over it, alongside your favorite sides.
  • For the best results, make sure not to overcook the chicken, as this can lead to a dry texture.
  • You can also marinate the chicken in the seasoning and lemon juice for a few hours ahead of time to enhance the flavors even further.
  • Additionally, feel free to experiment with different seasonings or add vegetables to the skillet for a complete one-pan meal.
  • Enjoy your quick and easy chicken dinner!
