Description

This is one of my absolute favorite recipes that I cook often, especially when I’m cutting back on carbs. It's light, healthy and full of flavor. I usually like to eat it with my salad. You really can’t go wrong with this recipe. My son loves it too. I often prefer to use the boneless chicken breast. I always keep some stacked in my freezer. So, if you are in a hurry and the chicken is frozen, just take it out and cover with cold water, it'll dissolve in about a couple of hours.

2 boneless chicken breast cut into squares

1-2 lemon juice

3 tablespoons olive oil

  3. Pour the marinated chicken in a skillet or a pot and let it cook on medium heat for about 15-20 minutes and until chicken is fully cooked.
