Ingredients
1.5 lb (680g) skinless, boneless chicken breast, sliced
1 lemon, juiced and zested
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
2 cups cooked rice (white or brown)
2 cups mixed greens
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp dried oregano
Salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
Whisk lemon juice, zest, garlic, parsley, oregano, 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Add chicken, marinate 20 minutes.
Heat remaining 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken 4-5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.
Serve hot chicken slices over warm rice with mixed greens, extra parsley, and lemon slices for garnish.
Notes
For juicier chicken, avoid overcooking.
Use olive oil to store leftovers up to 3 days.
Customize with cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, or chickpeas.
Ensure rice is cooked ahead of time to maximize efficiency.
