Simple Lemon Herb Chicken

chicken breast

lemon

salt and pepper

olive oil

oregano

parsley,

Cut lemon in half, and squeeze juice from 1/2 lemon on chicken. Season with salt to taste. Let sit while you heat oil in a small skillet over medium low heat.


When oil is hot, put chicken in skillet. As you saute chicken, add juice from other 1/2 lemon, pepper to taste, and oregano. Saute for 5 to 10 minutes each side, or until juices run clear. Serve with parsley for garnish.


Yum!! I pounnded the chicken to an even thickness (which should be included in the recipe for those that follow recipes exactly). I did not add oregano or parsley, but did add very small amounts of the following to each side of the chicken: rosemary blend, garlic powder, and crushed red pepper flakes (along with the lemon juice, salt & pepper). I let it sit for about 10 minutes while I cooked wild rice and heated the olive oil in the pan for a minute. Then proceeded to cook the chicken. After I turned the chicken to cook the other side I started to steam broccoli. Everything was done at the same time and I had a nice quick hot lunch today. Excellent lemon flavor. Will serve again and try it out on the family.

This is a awesome recipe. My family just loved it. I altered the recipe a little bit by adding some garlic to it. Mmmmm.

This was good but I didn't find the oregano really added anything to the recipe. I did add a little chicken broth towards the end of cooking that I reduced to make a sauce.

I pounded and marinated my chicken for over 30 minutes then "jelly-rolled" it with stovetop stuffing in the center tied with string and sauted... then made a gravy with the bits in the pan... soOoOo good.

This was quite nice. I added minced garlic to the oil prior to adding the chicken and based off another review also added crushed red pepper flakes to the chicken along with the oregano. I served this with garlic and olive oil couscous. A tasty simple meal.

This was good and easy. I used about 1/2 a lemon and added garlic powder lemon pepper and basil. I also cut the chicken into strips and served with egg noodles and roasted vegetables. Yummy!

Sooooooo good! This recipe is so delicious and easy to make. I loved it!:)

Simple but elegant, delicious and easy. Versatile too, in that if oregano doesn't appeal to you there are endless other possibilities for seasonings.  I prepared this using fresh oregano and adding fresh minced garlic and I know I'd love this with dill too.

This is a fast flavorful & fabulous way to cook chicken for a quick go-to dinner. With the lemon tree in the backyard I'm always keen on recipes with fresh lemon. We like to use other herbs in place of the oregano to change it up too. Thyme is an excellent option. Slices of this delicious chicken on top of a fresh salad w/ choice of dressing is always a hit at our table for two. Thanks for sharing the recipe!:)

This one was a bit plain for my taste. But definite plus is the time it takes up to prepare (perfect for a quick lunch fix). Plus as other user suggested I think this meat would be good in a salad.
