Equipment
- Skillet
- Knife
- Cutting Board
- Measuring spoons
- plate
Ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- ½ cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
Instructions
Prepare the Chicken:
- Begin by patting the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. This helps to create a nice sear when cooking. Season both sides of the chicken with salt, pepper, turmeric powder, and dried thyme. The turmeric adds a subtle flavor and is known for its anti-inflammatory properties, which are beneficial for liver health.
Sauté the Chicken:
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side until they are golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
Prepare the Sauce:
- While the chicken is cooking, combine the garlic, lemon juice, and chicken broth in a small bowl. After removing the cooked chicken from the skillet, pour the chicken broth mixture into the pan and bring it to a simmer. Add the apple cider vinegar and cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
Combine and Serve:
- Place the chicken back into the skillet and spoon the sauce over it. Let it cook for another 2 minutes, ensuring the chicken is well coated with the flavorful sauce. Sprinkle the chopped parsley on top for a fresh touch and serve.
