Ingredients

• 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts

• 2 lemons juiced (1/2 cup)

• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

• 2 teaspoons lemon pepper

• 1 teaspoon dried basil

• 1 teaspoon dried oregano¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

1. Place chicken breasts in a gallon-size resealable plastic bag. Pour in lemon juice, olive oil, lemon pepper, basil, oregano, and salt. Shake it a bit so all the chicken tenders get covered.

2. Let marinate in the fridge for 30 minutes or up to 8 hours.

3. Heat a heavy skillet over medium high heat.

4. Remove the chicken from the marinade and place directly into the hot skillet. Discard any remaining marinade.

5. Cook chicken 6 to 7 minutes per side, flipping halfway through. Continue cooking until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.

6. Serve hot. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and lemon slices (optional).
