Ingredients
– 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Instructions

3. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
4. Add the marinated chicken to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
5. Remove the chicken from the skillet and let rest for 5 minutes.
6. Slice the chicken and serve immediately, garnished with chopped fresh parsley.
Notes
For extra flavor, you can also add a sprinkle of zaatar seasoning to the chicken just before serving. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
