Preparation Steps

  • In a large bowl, combine the chicken pieces, minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat the chicken evenly.
  • Let the chicken marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
  • Heat a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and any remaining marinade to the skillet.
  • Cook the chicken for 5-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  • Pour in the chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
  • Simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce has slightly thickened.
  • Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
