Spice up your dinner tonight with Pollo Piccante, a bold and zesty Italian dish that brings flavor and heat to your plate!
Begin by preparing the chicken breast. Rinse and pat them dry with a paper towel. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts to the pan.
Cook the chicken for about 5-7 minutes on one side until golden brown. Then, flip the chicken and add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes.
Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and registers at least 165°F (75°C) internally.
While the chicken is cooking, finely chop the parsley and zest the lemon.
Once the chicken is done, remove it from the skillet and let it rest while you prepare the sauce. Lower the heat, and in the same skillet, combine any remaining juices and a few tablespoons of water to deglaze and create a sauce.
Drizzle the sauce over the chicken, sprinkle the chopped parsley, and add the lemon zest before serving.
