Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
- Pat the chicken dry with paper towels to help the seasoning stick and provide a better sear.
- In a shallow bowl, whisk together olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, oregano, and lemon juice.
- Add the chicken breasts to the bowl, coat them evenly, and let them marinate at room temperature for 10–15 minutes or up to 2 hours in the fridge.
- Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat, then cook the chicken for 5–6 minutes on each side until cooked through.
- Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing it crosswise, sprinkling with parsley, and serving.
