Description

Delightful chicken thigh strips infused with zesty lemon and aromatic garlic, perfect for any occasion.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 chicken thighs, boneless and skinless
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • Juice of 2 lemons
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, oregano, salt, and pepper to create a marinade.
  2. Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken thighs and cook for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and golden brown.
  4. Remove from heat and let the chicken rest for a few minutes. Slice the strips and serve garnished with fresh parsley.

Notes

Ensure the chicken is well-marinated for enhanced flavor. Serve with lemon wedges or herbed yogurt for a zesty twist.
