Lemon and oregano chicken fillet recipe
Serves 4
Ingredients:
- 1 pound chicken fillets
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (adjust to your liking)
- 2 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil plus more for cooking
- Breadcrumbs to coat chicken
- Black pepper
Directions:
- In a dish, mix lemon juice, salt, oregano and 2 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil. Mix well then set aside.
- Lightly brush chicken with extra-virgin olive oil on both sides. Don’t wet it too much.
- Cover both sides with breadcrumbs. Shake off excess.
- Saute in a hot saucepan with extra-virgin olive oil on medium–high fire. Brown both sides.
- While still hot, quickly dip both sides of cooked chicken in the lemon mixture. The longer you soak the chicken, the more it will absorb the flavor. One quick dip of both sides is enough if you want the flavor to be mild. If you want it stronger, let it stay longer in the lemon mixture.
- Pairs well with orange and lettuce salad.
