Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts You can use frozen chicken, but thaw completely before marinating.
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped Can substitute with other herbs like thyme or rosemary.
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
Optional sides
  • Cauliflower rice Low-carb option.
  • Roasted potatoes For a heartier option.
  • Your favorite veggies Add a colorful mix.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, dill, garlic, salt, and pepper.
  2. Marinate the chicken breasts in the mixture for 10 minutes.
Cooking
  1. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the marinated chicken.
  2. Cook for about 7-10 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through.
Serving
  1. Serve over sautéed cauliflower rice or with roasted potatoes and veggies.
  2. Garnish with extra fresh dill and lemon slices if desired.

Notes

To store leftovers, let the chicken cool down, then place in an airtight container. Keeps in the refrigerator for up to three days or freeze for up to three months. For best flavor, marinate longer than 10 minutes. For extra crispy chicken, sear on high heat for a minute on each side before reducing the heat. Grilling is also an option for a smoky flavor.
