Instructions
Creating Citrus and Herb Chicken Breast is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper.
2. Add Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes (or up to 2 hours for more flavor).
3. Preheat the Pan: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add a little olive oil to coat the bottom.
4. Cook the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off. Place in the hot skillet and cook for 6-7 minutes on one side.
5. Flip and Finish Cooking: Turn the chicken breasts over and cook for an additional 6-7 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
6. Rest the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
7. Garnish: Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving for added color and flavor.
