Lemon & Oregano Chicken

The combination of Lemon and Chicken has to be one of my favorite things {in the food world}. I love this recipe. Last night I paired this chicken with my spinach and ricotta penne {see side dishes}. And, Voila! It was another perfect combo.

Ingredients:

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 1/2 cups italian bread crumbs
• 2 tbsp chopped fresh oregano {or dried}
• 1/4 cup lemon juice
  
• 1 tsp garlic salt
  
• 1 tsp kosher salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 2 tbsp olive oil

1. In a mixing bowl, combine bread crumbs, oregano, lemon juice, garlic salt, kosher salt and pepper. Mix together.
   
2. Pour the lemon juice in a shallow dish.
   
3. Heat olive oil in a saute pan over medium-high heat.
   
4. Dip chicken breast into lemon juice {covering all sides}. Then, roll chicken into bread crumb mixture, pressing bread into both sides of chicken. Transfer to saute pan.
5. Cook chicken for about 7 to 10 minutes on each side, or until chicken is cooked through.
   

{Tip!} Top each breast with a fresh lemon slice while cooking or top with parmesan cheese when serving.

Enjoy!

"Whenever possible, use fresh leaves of oregano over dried leaves. Fresh oregano has a superior flavor and is rich in vitamins and anti-oxidants like beta carotene, vitamin C, and folates. Although, they both will get the job done!"
