Instructions

1. In a large bowl, mix together the yogurt, zaatar seasoning, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.

2. Add the chicken to the yogurt mixture and toss to coat evenly. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours).

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.
