Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, thyme, or parsley, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Trim any excess fat from the chicken breasts and pat them dry with a paper towel to ensure a good sear and to prevent steaming during cooking.
  2. Marinate with Fresh Flavors: In a bowl, mix minced garlic, fresh herbs, lemon juice, olive oil, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), salt, and pepper. Coat the chicken breasts thoroughly in this marinade and let them rest for at least 20 minutes to absorb the flavors.
  3. Cook to Perfection: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with a splash of olive oil. Add the marinated chicken breasts and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side, until the outside turns golden and the meat is fully cooked through.
  4. Rest and Serve: Transfer the chicken to a plate and allow it to rest for a few minutes to let the juices redistribute, resulting in more tender and juicy meat.

Notes

  • Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness for quicker and more even cooking.
  • Use a cooking thermometer to ensure internal temperature reaches 75°C (165°F) for perfect doneness.
  • Avoid overcrowding the pan to get crisp edges on the chicken.
  • Resting the chicken after cooking prevents dryness by retaining the juices.
  • Marinate the chicken for at least 20 minutes or overnight for more intense flavor.
