  • Total Time: 22 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

– 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces

– Β½ teaspoon dried oregano

– Β½ teaspoon dried basil

– 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

– Β½ teaspoon kosher salt

– ΒΌ teaspoon black pepper

– 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided

– 2 tablespoons minced garlic

– Juice from half a lemon (about 2 tablespoons)

Instructions

1-Begin by seasoning the chicken evenly with Β½ teaspoon dried oregano, Β½ teaspoon dried basil, 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, Β½ teaspoon kosher salt, and ΒΌ teaspoon black pepper for a flavorful base. This step infuses the meat with herbs, making each bite burst with taste.

3-Finally, drizzle the juice from half a lemon about 2 tablespoons over the chicken and stir before serving.
