 Lemon-Herb Chicken Breast 





Chicken is a versatile and nutritious option for a speedy dinner. It can be transformed in countless ways, and we've explored various recipes. Our love for this lemon herb dish lies in its minimal prep time, yet it boasts the rich flavors that might make you think we slaved away in the kitchen. The zesty punch of lemon, coupled with the warmth of lemon pepper, creates a delightful fusion of tastes that will leave you wondering how such a simple recipe can pack such a flavorful punch.


**Ingredients:**

- 1 tsp chopped garlic

- 1/2 cup (120 ml) olive oil

- 1 lb (455 g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts

- Salt and pepper

- 1/4 cup (10 g) minced fresh basil

- 2 tbsp (5 g) minced fresh parsley

- 2 lemons

- 2 tbsp (28 ml) water


**Instructions:**

1. Mix chopped garlic with olive oil in a measuring cup and set it aside.

2. Heat a non-stick skillet over high heat and lightly grease it with cooking spray.

3. Flatten chicken breasts to about 1/2 inch (1.3 cm) thickness using a heavy object. Cut into three portions and season with salt and pepper on both sides.

4. Pour half of the garlic-infused olive oil into the hot skillet, swirl it around, and add the chicken. Cover with a tilted lid and cook for 3-4 minutes.

5. Mince basil and parsley. Roll one lemon under your palm to release more juice.

6. Once the chicken is golden on the bottom, flip it, re-cover with the tilted lid, and cook for another 3-4 minutes.

7. Slice one lemon in half and remove the seeds.

8. Squeeze one lemon over the chicken, coating both sides. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover with the tilted lid, and continue cooking until it's done.

9. Plate the chicken.

10. Add water and juice from the other lemon to the skillet, stirring to scrape up the browned bits. Pour this sauce over the chicken.

11. Top with minced herbs and a drizzle of garlic olive oil before serving.

 False Ideas about Foods and Nutrition A false or  Wrong ideas about effect of food on health may be spread deliberately by those, who wish to promote their products. Food fallacies exist because of ignorance of basic scientific information about the subject. Food quacks exploit this ignorance to sell their products. In each region, people have a number of beliefs. These are passed on unquestioned from one generation to the next. It may be wise to consider those in the light of scientific knowledge. Some may have a sound basis, others not. Some Misconceptions about Carbohydrate in the Diet Potatoes are fattening. No particular food is fattening or otherwise. All energy intake in excess of the body's need is stored as fat. Potatoes provide about a kilocalorie per gram, about the same as cooked rice.
