Ingredients

Ingredients:

  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • 2 teaspoons lemon pepper seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • juice of 1/2 lemon
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • lemon wedges for garnish

Instructions

  • In a bowl combine all ingredients except the chicken.
  • Use a sharp knife to half the chicken breasts lengthwise. Place chicken breasts between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound with a meat mallet until they are a uniform thickness. This ensures that they will cook evenly.
  • Place chicken in a glass dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken. Turn the chicken to coat. Marinate for 2 hours.
  • After two hours, remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the remaining marinade.
  • Cook the chicken in a skillet 3-4 minutes on each side or until cooked through. Serve with lemon wedges

Notes

Enjoy!
