Lemon Garlic Chicken

This chicken recipe is a tangy and tasty dinner that is 

perfect for a mid week meal or weekend BBQ.

This chicken is so unbelievably simple,

but ever so delicious!

INGREDIENTS (Serves 4)

4 Chicken Breasts

4 to 6 Garlic Cloves, minced

1/2 Cup Lemon Juice

2 Tsps Thyme, finely chopped (or 1 Tsp dried)

1 Tsp Paprika

1/4-1/2 Tsp Cayenne Pepper (adjust to your liking)

1 Tsp Sea Salt

1/2 Tsp Freshly Ground Pepper

1/4 Cup Olive Oil

METHOD

Place the chicken in a shallow dish.

Combine all marinade ingredients together and pour over the chicken.

Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 3 hours or overnight. Turning occasionally.

To Pan Roast the Chicken

Heat 1 Tbsp olive oil and 1 Tbsp butter in a large fry pan over a high heat.

Add the chicken to the pan and cook without disturbing until the bottom side is well browned, about 2-3 minutes. You may want to reduce the heat to medium-high if the chicken is browning too quickly.

Flip the chicken using tongs and brown the other side for another 2 minutes.

Reduce the heat to medium and cover the pan.

Cook the chicken through, another 8-10 minutes, depending on the thickness. You may choose to flip the chicken once more whilst cooking, but otherwise keep it covered.

Serve with a dollop of hummus and a simple salad, like My Fattoush Salad.
