Garlic Herb Chicken Breast

🕒 Time: 25 minutes

🍽️ Servings: 2

Ingredients:

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

• 2 tablespoons olive oil

• 3 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 teaspoon dried thyme (or Italian seasoning)

• 1 teaspoon dried parsley

• ½ teaspoon paprika

• Salt and pepper, to taste

• Optional: 1 tablespoon lemon juice or zest for brightness

Instructions:

1. Prep the Chicken:

   • Pat chicken breasts dry with paper towels.

   • Pound slightly to even thickness for even cooking.

2. Make the Herb Mixture:

   • In a small bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, thyme, parsley, paprika, salt, and pepper.

3. Coat the Chicken:

   • Rub the herb mixture all over the chicken breasts. Let them sit for 5–10 minutes if you have time (or up to 24 hours in the fridge for deeper flavor).

4. Cook the Chicken:

   • Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add a drizzle of oil.

   • Cook chicken for 5–7 minutes per side, until golden brown and internal temp hits 165°F (74°C).

5. Rest and Serve:

   • Let chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

   • Optional: squeeze a little lemon juice over the top.

Serving Ideas:

• Serve with roasted veggies, over a salad, or with rice or mashed potatoes.
