  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Optional: grated Parmesan cheese for garnish

  1. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and paprika.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
