Ingredients

2 lbs Chicken Breast, Skinless / Boneless
2 tsp Salt
2 tsp Black Pepper
2 tsp Oregano, Dried
2 tsp Garlic Powder
2 tsp Paprika
1 tbsp Lemon Zest (microplaned or chopped very small)
2 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Butter, Light
2 tbsp Lemon Juice, Fresh (Use the juice from 1 entire lemon, It may be slightly more or less than this. You can reserve some and add at the end if you think it will be too lemony.)
4 tbsp Water

Instructions

Cut chicken into cube-sized pieces.
Combine all ingredients except for the lemon juice and butter.
Marinate chicken for 30 minutes (or longer).
Cook chicken in frying pan until done (165°F (73.9°C)) about 7 minutes. Since we are cooking with very little fat after you start to brown the chicken adding a few tablespoons of water will help the chicken cook through.
Serve with Lemon Garlic Rice or another side.
