Follow these easy steps to create the most delicious Lemon Chicken:

1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, combine lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Whisk until well blended.
2. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it is evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for 20-30 minutes.
3. Preheat the Pan: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil to the pan.
4. Cook the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade (discard the marinade) and place it in the heated skillet. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through (an internal temperature of 165°F).
5. Check for Doneness: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is fully cooked. If it’s not yet at the right temperature, continue cooking for an additional few minutes.
6. Rest the Chicken: Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a plate and let it rest for 5 minutes to retain its juices.
7. Garnish and Serve: Slice the chicken, arrange it on a serving platter, and garnish with fresh lemon slices and parsley if desired.

By following these straightforward instructions, you’ll create a dish that packs a flavorful punch and leaves everyone asking for the recipe!
