🍋 Zesty Lemon Garlic Chicken Nuggets 🍋

A Burst of Flavor in Every Bite - Perfect for Busy Weeknights or a Family Dinner!

🍽️ Ingredients 🍽️
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, pat dry with paper towel, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 medium lemon, juiced about 2 tablespoons

🧑‍🍳 Directions 🧑‍🍳
1. In a small bowl, mix together oregano, basil, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Sprinkle this seasoning mix over the chicken pieces, ensuring each piece is evenly coated.
2. Heat a 12-inch skillet over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of butter. Swirl the skillet to coat the bottom with melted butter.
3. Place the chicken in the skillet in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding to ensure even cooking. Cook for 8-10 minutes, turning the chicken halfway through, until golden brown and nearly cooked through.
4. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter to the skillet. Once melted, stir in the garlic and cook for an additional minute until the garlic is fragrant and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
5. Remove from heat and drizzle the lemon juice over the cooked chicken. Stir well to combine all the flavors.
