Mediterranean Pan Seared Chicken

Mediterranean Pan Seared Chicken

Honestly this is my go to chicken on an evening when I am tired and have very little time for dinner. Sometimes I marinate the chicken on Sunday evening and store in zip lock bags for weeknight dinners. The below chicken is pictured with my Chickpea, tomato, spinach and feta dish, also with my lemon couscous and leafless Greek salad.

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb chicken breast (sliced thinly)
  • 1 lemon
  • 1 tsp Zatar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 3 tbsp Greek yogurt
  • Handful of cilantro (chopped)

Instructions:

  1. Wash out chicken with juice of 1/2 lemon.
  2. Add the remaining ingredients to the chicken and marinate for at least 1 hour.
  3. Heat olive oil in a skillet on medium high heat.
  4. Cook chicken for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown, turning once between cooking, about 8-10 minutes.
