Instructions

• Prepare vegetables and set aside.

• Pre heat pan over medium heat with olive oil.

• Tenderize chicken breast.

• Once the pan is hot, add the chicken breast and allow to cook on both sides till the meat is white.

• Only start seasoning once the meat is white- this will ensure that the chicken is not dry once cooked.

• Season with salt, paprika, garlic flakes and parsley, turn over and repeat.

• Once seasoned on both sides, keep turning the chicken over till its crispy, but be careful not to let it cook on each side for too long as paprika tends to burn quickly.
