Ingredients:
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast (cut into bite-sized pieces)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
- Zest and juice of 1 lemon
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh lemon wedges for serving
Instructions:
- Prep the Chicken: Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
- Make the Marinade: In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, dried oregano, dried parsley (if using), salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine.
- Marinate the Chicken: Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, mixing them so they are fully coated. Let it sit for at least 15-20 minutes (or up to an hour for more flavor).
- Cook the Chicken: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces (in batches if necessary) and cook for 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve: Serve the chicken bites with fresh lemon wedges on the side for extra citrus flavor.
Tips:
- For added flavor: You can marinate the chicken overnight for an even deeper flavor.
- Serving suggestion: Serve with a side of veggies or over a fresh salad for a low-point, filling meal!
