Ingredients
Preparation
Step 1
Lightly spray a large skillet with cooking spray. Add the oil, lemon zest, and lemon juice, swirling to coat the bottom. Stir in the chicken, oregano, garlic, and pepper. Cook, covered, over medium-high heat for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the chicken begins to turn white. Turn the chicken over. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the entire surface is white. Pour the pan liquid into a small bowl to reserve.
Step 2
Cook the chicken, uncovered, for 2 to 5 minutes on each side, or until lightly browned.
Step 3
Sprinkle the paprika over the chicken. Pour the reserved pan liquid into the skillet. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the chicken is no longer pink in the center, stirring frequently. Serve sprinkled with the parsley.
