Ingredients
- 400 grams chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon ZEST FRIEND - Lemon and Garlic Seasoning Mix
- 10 grams fresh parsley, finely chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste (optional, ZEST FRIEND already contains salt)
Preparation
- Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels.
- Generously sprinkle the chicken breasts with ZEST FRIEND. Ensure both sides are well coated.
- Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat.
- Place the chicken breasts in the hot pan and cook for approximately 6-8 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. The exact cooking time depends on the thickness of the fillet.
- Remove the chicken from the pan and let it rest on a cutting board for a few minutes.
- Slice the chicken breast and sprinkle with fresh parsley.
Tips for the Best Results
- Don't cook too hot: Cook the chicken over medium-high heat to prevent the outside from burning before the chicken is cooked through.
- Resting is crucial: Let the chicken breast rest after cooking. This keeps the juices in the meat, ensuring a more tender result.
- Variety: Serve with a fresh salad, roasted vegetables, or rice for a complete meal.

❓ Veelgestelde Vragen
How do I know if the chicken breast is cooked?
Pierce the thickest part. If the juices run clear and the chicken is no longer pink inside, it is cooked.
Can I use other chicken parts?
Yes, but adjust the cooking time. Thicker parts like thighs will take longer.
Is ZEST FRIEND spicy?
No, ZEST FRIEND is a fresh seasoning mix with lemon and garlic, not spicy.
