- 1 Lemon cut in half
- 1 tsp Dried Oregano
- 1 tsp Dried Thyme
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/4 tsp Black Pepper
Instructions
- Flatten your chicken breasts using a meat mallet so they cook evenly.
- You’ll want them about the same thickness from end to end.
- Mix together the oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
- Generously season both sides of each chicken breast with the mixture.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Once the oil is shimmering, place the chicken breasts in the skillet.
- Cook until golden brown on both sides and cooked through, about 5 minutes per side.
- Press the lemon halves into the hot skillet, cut-side down, until charred.
- After cooking, let the chicken rest for a few minutes to reabsorb the juices and stay moist.
- Squeeze the charred lemon over the top for an added zesty flavor.
