Ingredients (7 ingredients)

2 piece skinless, boneless chicken breast halves (5 ounce)
1 medium lemon, juiced, divided
salt
freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pinch dried oregano
2 sprigs fresh parsley, chopped

Preparation (5 steps)

Marinate the Chicken

Place the 2 (5 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves in a bowl. Pour 1/2 of the juice from 1 medium lemon over the chicken and season with salt to taste. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.

Heat Olive Oil

Add 1 tablespoon olive oil to a skillet and heat over medium-low heat. This step is done outside of the Thermomix to properly sear the chicken.

Cook the Chicken

Place the marinated chicken into the hot oil in the skillet. Add the remaining lemon juice and 1 pinch dried oregano; season with freshly ground black pepper to taste. Cook the chicken until golden brown and the juices run clear, about 5 to 10 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
