The sliced chicken breast with herbs is a second light and tasty dish, rich in proteins and much more digestible than the classic cut of beef.

In general, the chicken breast, being a very lean meat, can be “stringy”, let’s say dry and not always appreciated. Cooked in this way, however, the meat remains soft, juicy and very fragrant thanks to the marinade of aromatic herbs.

Ingredients

2 chicken breasts cut into thick slices
the juice of half a lemon
chopped fresh aromatic herbs to taste – marjoram, mint, rosemary, sage, thyme
a pinch of paprika powder
salt
black pepper
garlic (optional)

How to prepare chicken breasts

First of all prepare the marinade for seasoning the chicken which should be prepared some time before using it.

You will need a few leaves of sage, thyme, marjoram and rosemary, but bay leaves and oregano are fine too, it also depends on what you have on the balcony or in the garden, the important thing is that they are fresh and fragrant aromas.

Wash them, dry them and cut them into coarse pieces. In a bowl, add the lemon juice, add a good amount of extra virgin olive oil, add a little salt, black pepper and a pinch of paprika.

If you like, add a piece of garlic. Mix everything with a fork and leave to flavor.

Get good chicken breast from your trusted butcher, possibly coming from free range chickens, and have it cut into thick slices.

Sprinkle it with a little lemon on both sides and cook it on a hot non-stick plate.

Consider cooking about 10 minutes per side.

Once ready, cut it into oblique slices one centimeter thick and arrange them on a serving dish.

Sprinkle the chicken with the marinade you previously prepared and enjoy!
