Creating your Lemon Garlic Chicken Skillet is a straightforward process. Follow these steps for a delicious outcome:

1. Prepare Chicken: Start by patting the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt, pepper, and dried oregano.
2. Heat Oil: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
3. Cook Chicken: Add the chicken breasts to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown. Flip and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink inside. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
4. Sauté Garlic: In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant, making sure it doesn’t burn.
5. Add Lemon Juice and Zest: Pour in the lemon juice and zest, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. This step adds depth of flavor to your dish.
6. Return Chicken: Return the chicken to the skillet and spoon the lemon-garlic sauce over each piece to coat well. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through.
7. Garnish: Remove from heat and sprinkle fresh parsley on top. Add lemon slices if desired for a vibrant presentation.
8. Serve: Serve immediately, pairing with your choice of sides.

By following these simple steps, you’ll unveil an amazing dish that your family and guests will rave about.
