Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs are best for this recipe.
  • Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade is what gives the chicken its flavor, so make sure to use a marinade that you enjoy. This recipe uses a simple marinade made with olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs.
  • Marinate the chicken for at least 15 minutes: The longer you marinate the chicken, the more flavorful it will be. If you're short on time, you can marinate the chicken for as little as 15 minutes, but for best results, marinate it for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight.
  • Cook the chicken over medium heat: Cooking the chicken over medium heat will help to prevent it from drying out. If you cook the chicken over high heat, it will brown too quickly and become tough.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked through: The chicken is cooked through when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.

Conclusion:

This 15-minute marinated chicken is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is packed with flavor. The chicken is marinated in a flavorful blend of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs, then cooked to perfection in a skillet. Serve the chicken with your favorite sides, such as rice, pasta, or vegetables.
