Succulent Paprika Garlic Chicken Skillet

Ingredients

- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Instructions

1. Preparation:
- Begin by seasoning the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and paprika. Ensure each breast is evenly coated by rubbing the spices into the meat. Set aside for at least 10 minutes to enhance the flavors.

2. Cook the Chicken:
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering but not smoking, add the chicken breasts to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for about 5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F on an instant-read thermometer). Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside on a warm plate.

3. Sauté the Aromatics:
- In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the chopped onion. Sauté until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the minced garlic and dried oregano, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.

4. Combine and Finish:
- Return the chicken to the skillet, nestling it among the aromatics. Cover the skillet and allow the chicken to simmer gently for an additional 2-3 minutes, letting the flavors meld and ensuring the chicken remains juicy.

5. Serving Suggestions:
- Serve the chicken breasts hot, garnished with the aromatic onion-garlic mixture. This dish pairs wonderfully with a side of steamed vegetables or a simple garden salad.
