Instructions

  1. Step 1

    In a bowl, combine 3 tbsp olive oil, 3 minced garlic cloves, 2 tbsp chopped fresh herbs, 2 tbsp lemon juice, and 1 tsp salt. Stir well to make the marinade.

  2. Step 2

    Add 1.5 lb chicken pieces to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Let sit for 10 minutes at room temperature.

  3. Step 3

    Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place the chicken in the skillet, discarding excess marinade. Cook until golden brown on one side, about 5 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Flip the chicken and cook until cooked through and juices run clear, about 5-7 more minutes. Serve hot.
