# Ingredients:
01 -
Juice and zest from 1 lemon.
02 -
1/4 cup virgin olive oil.
03 -
3 cloves garlic, chopped finely or 1 tsp garlic powder.
04 -
1 tsp oregano, dried.
05 -
1/2 tsp paprika with smoky flavor.
06 -
A pinch plus 1/2 tsp sea salt.
07 -
1/4 tsp black pepper, coarsely ground.
08 -
1 pound chicken breast, thinly sliced.
09 -
1/4 cup crumbled feta.
10 -
1/4 cup parsley, freshly chopped.
11 -
Extra lemon cut into wedges for serving.
# Instructions:
01 -
Grab a big bowl and mix up the lemon juice and zest, olive oil, garlic, oregano, smoky paprika, sea salt, and pepper. Stir until everything blends well. Take out 1/4 cup and put it aside for later.
02 -
Toss the thin chicken slices into the bowl with what's left of your mixture. Make sure each piece gets coated using tongs. Cover with plastic and stick it in the fridge for half an hour to soak up the flavors.
03 -
Get a nonstick pan hot over medium-high heat. Add a bit of olive oil and put in your soaked chicken pieces. Let them cook until they turn golden on one side, around 4-5 minutes.
04 -
Turn the chicken over and cook for another 3-4 minutes until it's done all the way through. You'll know it's ready when you cut it and the juices aren't pink anymore.
05 -
Move the chicken to a plate and pour your saved mixture on top. Scatter the chopped parsley and crumbled feta over everything.
06 -
Put some lemon wedges on the side so people can squeeze extra juice if they want. Your tasty Mediterranean chicken is ready to eat!.
# Notes:
01 -
Don't rush the marinating - let the chicken soak for at least 30 minutes to really soak up those flavors.
02 -
If you can't eat dairy, just skip the feta or swap it with a non-dairy option.
