Place chicken breasts on a cutting board. Pat them dry with paper towels. This helps the seasoning stick better and improves browning during cooking.

In a bowl, mix paprika, oregano, salt and black pepper. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over both sides of the chicken.

In a small bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest and minced garlic. Stir well until the mixture becomes fragrant and evenly blended.

Place chicken in a shallow dish. Pour the lemon garlic mixture over the chicken. Let it sit for about 10 minutes so the flavor absorbs.

Place a skillet on medium heat. Add a small amount of olive oil and allow it to warm for one minute.

Place the chicken in the hot skillet. Cook for about 6–7 minutes on one side. Turn it carefully using tongs.

Add butter to the pan while the chicken cooks. Spoon the melted butter and juices over the chicken to add extra flavor.

Cook the second side for another 6–7 minutes. The chicken should be golden and cooked through. The inside temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).

Sprinkle chopped parsley over the chicken. The herbs add color and a fresh flavor.

Remove the chicken from the pan. Spoon some of the lemon garlic sauce over the top before serving.
