lemon herb chicken

Sometimes you're not in the mood to try something crazy and different. Sometimes you just want something simple, easy and good. This actually reminded me of a quick meal my mom used to make back home. She loved her some lemon chicken on the grill. Sadly, I don't have a grill, but this is just as good. here's what you'll need:

  • 1 lb. chicken breast
  • 1 lemon
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pinch dried oregano
  • 2 sprigs fresh parsley, for garnish


Cut the lemon in half, and squeeze juice from 1/2 the lemon onto the chicken. Season with salt to taste. Let sit while you heat the oil in a non-stick skillet over medium low heat. When the oil is hot, place the chicken in the skillet. As you saute the chicken, add the juice from other 1/2 lemon, pepper to taste, and oregano. Saute for 5 to 10 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through. Serve with parsley for garnish.
