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!
