Ingredients

  • 2 (5 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
  • 1 medium lemon, juiced, divided
  • salt to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pinch dried oregano
  • 2 sprigs fresh parsley, for garnish

Steps

  1. Place chicken in a bowl; pour 1/2 of the lemon juice over chicken and season with salt.
  2. Heat olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-low heat. Place chicken into hot oil. Add remaining lemon juice and oregano; season with black pepper. Cook chicken until golden brown and the juices run clear, 5 to 10 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  3. Garnish chicken with parsley to serve.
