Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces

3 tablespoons olive oil

4 cloves garlic, minced

Zest of 1 lemon

Juice of 1 large lemon

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, dried oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well. Add the chicken pieces to the bowl and toss until they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

    Preheat the Skillet: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.

      Cook the Chicken: Add the marinated chicken bites to the hot skillet in a single layer. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side until golden brown. Flip the pieces and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice golden crust.

        Add Extra Flavor: Pour any leftover marinade from the bowl over the chicken bites in the skillet and cook for another 1-2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and coat the chicken.

          Garnish and Serve: Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the chopped parsley over the chicken bites for a fresh touch.
