Ingredients

  • chicken breasts)

    cut into 1" pieces (about 2 breasts

    1 lb
  • extra-virgin olive oil
    2 tbsp
  • juice and zest of 1 lemon
  • garlic)

    minced (about 1 teaspoon

    2 clove
  • oregano
    2 tsp
  • kosher salt
    1 tsp
  • black pepper
    ½ tsp
  • white wine
    ¼ c

Directions

  1. 1

    Make the marinade by mixing the olive oil (2 tablespoons), lemon juice and zest (from 1 lemon), minced garlic (2 cloves), dried oregano (2 teaspoons), kosher salt (1 teaspoon) and black pepper (1/2 teaspoon) together in a small bowl or glass measuring cup.

  2. 2

    Put the cut up chicken breasts in a plastic bag or container with a lid. Pour the marinade over the chicken and stir to coat (or smush around in the plastic bag). Allow to marinate for at least 20 minutes, but preferably for 2-24 hours (you can skip this if you're in a hurry or didn't plan ahead).

  3. 3

    Heat a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat until very hot (this may take a few minutes if you are using cast iron, or only about 30 seconds to a minute if using another material).

  4. 4

    Add the chicken to the skillet and spread out in an even layer. Cook without disturbing for about 5 minutes. Then, flip and cook on the other side for about 5 more minute, or until chicken is completely cooked (the internal temperature should be 165 degrees F, or cut into a piece to make sure it's not pink anymore).

  5. 5

    Pour in the white wine (1/4 cup) and deglaze the bottom of the skillet, using a spatula or wooden spoon to loosen all the stuck-on browned bits while coating the chicken in them. Continue sautéing until most of the wine has evaporated and the chicken is coated in the deglazed drippings. Serve.
