Let’s Cook!
Step 1: Prep the Chicken
Cut chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. Aim for even sizes for even cooking.
Step 2: Make the Marinade
In a bowl, whisk together minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Step 3: Marinate
Place chicken in a ziplock bag or shallow dish. Pour marinade over chicken, ensuring each piece is coated. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes (longer is better!).
Step 4: Cook the Chicken
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Add chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes, flipping occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 5: Serve!
Serve immediately. Garnish with lemon slices and parsley (optional).
Keto/Low Carb Options
For a keto or low-carb version, substitute avocado oil for olive oil and omit the lemon juice. Serve with steamed veggies or a salad.
Tips for Success
- Don’t overcook! Overcooked chicken is dry.
