Instrukcje
- 1.Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel. In a small bowl, combine the chopped fresh herbs, minced garlic, lemon zest, salt, and pepper to create a flavourful paste.
- 2.Rub the herb mixture evenly over all sides of the chicken breasts, pressing gently to ensure the crust adheres well.
- 3.Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or pan over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, carefully place the chicken breasts in the pan.
- 4.Sear the chicken for 5-7 minutes on each side, until a golden-brown crust forms and the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 75°C). Avoid overcrowding the pan.
- 5.Remove the chicken from the pan and let it rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes before slicing. Squeeze the fresh juice from the zested lemon over the chicken just before serving for a bright, fresh finish.
