A flavorful and aromatic chicken dish marinated in a blend of yogurt, lemon, and spices, then cooked to perfection.
In a large zip-top bag, combine the yogurt, juice from the lemon, minced garlic, salt, pepper, cardamom, cumin, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
Ensure the bag is sealed tightly to prevent any leaks and allow for easy mixing.
Add the chicken breasts to the bag, seal it, and massage the marinade into the chicken. Refrigerate overnight.
Turn the bag occasionally to ensure the chicken is evenly coated with the marinade.
Remove the chicken from the bag, letting excess marinade drip off, and pat the chicken dry with paper towels.
Drying the chicken helps achieve a better sear when cooking.
Heat the olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
Ensure the oil is hot before adding the chicken to prevent sticking.
Cook the chicken in the skillet for about 3 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through.
Avoid overcrowding the skillet to ensure even cooking.
Transfer the chicken to a serving platter and garnish with chopped parsley.
Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
