Description
This Comforting 30-Minute Salt and Pepper Chicken is a delectable, easy-to-prepare dish that’s bursting with flavor. Perfectly seasoned chicken is seared to golden-brown perfection, resulting in a tender, juicy, and irresistible meal the whole family will love.
Ingredients
– 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 2 teaspoons coarse salt
– 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
– 1 lemon, cut into wedges
Instructions
1. Pat the chicken cubes dry with paper towels and season all over with salt and pepper.
2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken in a single layer and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.
3. Reduce the heat to medium, add the garlic, and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
4. Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the chopped parsley.
5. Serve the Salt and Pepper Chicken warm, with lemon wedges on the side.
Notes
For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of dried herbs like oregano or thyme to the seasoning. You can also use boneless, skinless chicken thighs instead of breasts for a more juicy and tender result.
