Perfect Weeknight Chicken
This chicken is a weekly staple at my house because it is easy to make, and it tastes really good. I tend to make this on my meal prep day and have it as part of my lunch during the week. Now that I am in perimenopause, I prioritize protein, fiber, and healthy fats in my meals, and this is the perfect protein source.
Perfect Weeknight Chicken
This chicken has so much flavor and comes together quickly. I usually make this for my lunches, and pair it salad, roasted veggies, or cauliflower rice. But, as the title says, it is perfect for weeknights because its quick and easy.
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp avocado oil , this is my favorite (Pure Avocado Oil | High Heat Cooking Oil | Primal Kitchen)

- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
Instructions
- If the chicken breasts are large and uneven, pound between plastic wrap until even thickness
- Heat your pan with the avocado oil
- Combine salt, Italian seasoning, garlic, and onion seasoning in one bowl and mix until combined. Add to chicken
- Add chicken to pan and cook until done. Juices will be running clear, and the internal temp is 165 degrees (according to the USDA Safe Minimum Internal Temperature Chart | Food Safety and Inspection Service)
