Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb chicken breast or thighs (cut into bite-sized pieces)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter (optional, for extra flavor)
Optional Garnish:
- Fresh parsley (chopped)
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken: Pat the chicken pieces dry with paper towels and place them in a mixing bowl.
- Season the chicken: Drizzle the olive oil over the chicken. Add garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
- Cook the chicken: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken in a single layer. Cook for 3–4 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F).
- Add butter (optional): Stir in the butter during the last minute of cooking for extra richness and flavor.
- Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce or sides.
Notes
- Use boneless, skinless chicken thighs for extra juiciness.
- Add a squeeze of lemon juice at the end for a fresh, tangy kick.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet or microwave before serving.
