Lemon Garlic Pan Seared Chicken
Enjoy a bright and savory chicken dish, perfectly pan seared to lock in tender juiciness, with a zesty lemon garlic sauce that elevates every bite. This meal is a clean, protein-packed option that pairs well with a side salad or steamed veggies.
INGREDIENTS
6 ounces Chicken Breast
1 medium Lemon
2 garlic cloves
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
Salt & Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the chicken breast dry with a paper towel and season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.
Finely mince the garlic cloves and zest the lemon. Then slice the lemon half for juice extraction.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Place the seasoned chicken breast in the skillet and cook for about 5-6 minutes on one side until golden brown.
Flip the chicken and add the minced garlic and lemon zest to the pan. Squeeze in the lemon juice and let it sizzle, deglazing the pan.
Cook for an additional 5-6 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
Remove the chicken from the pan and let it rest for a couple of minutes. Spoon the pan juices over the chicken before serving.
