Light and summer. The dish was very simple to put together and it smelled amazing while it cooked on the stovetop. I love how easy and fast it came together which makes it perfect for a weeknight meal in a pinch! The chicken comes out tender, moist, and so delicious with a huge lemon kick!.
Recipe type: Dinner
Serves: 4
Ingredients
  • 1lb chicken breasts (I used tenders because they cook faster and thats what I had on hand)
  • 1T olive oil
  • 1/4C white wine
  • Juice from 1 lemon
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1tsp fresh diced thyme
  • sea salt and pepper to taste
  • zest of 1 lemon
Instructions
  1. place chicken in a big dish. Add lemon, lemon zest, thyme, oregano, salt and pepper to the bowl and mix well. Let the chicken sit in the lemon and spices for about 15 minutes.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add in the olive oil and wait until it begins to sizzle. When the pan is hot, add in the chicken, so the tenders are evenly spaced out from one another. After a few minutes, when the tenders begin to turn opaque, flip them over and add in the wine.
  3. Keep a watchful eye on the pan as to not burn the chicken. You may want to turn down the heat to low-medium so the chicken stays moist and tender
  4. Add any additional salt and pepper.
  5. Wait about 7-8 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and transfer to a serving platter
  6. Enjoy!
