Ingredients
- 2 chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cauliflower rice (for serving)
- Roasted potatoes and veggies (optional, for serving)
Instructions
- Prepare the marinade: In a medium bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, dill, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create a flavorful marinade.
- Marinate the chicken: Add the chicken breasts to the bowl and coat them evenly with the marinade. Let them sit for at least 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Cook the chicken: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken breasts. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
- Serve: Plate the cooked chicken over sautéed cauliflower rice or with your choice of roasted potatoes and veggies.
Notes
Don’t overcook the chicken to prevent it from becoming dry. Let it rest for a few minutes after cooking.
