Method
Pat the chicken breast dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
In a small bowl, combine the chopped parsley, chopped cilantro, sliced green onion, minced garlic, olive oil, and lime juice; mix to form a herb paste.
Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Herb paste is evenly mixed with garlic, oil, and lime.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of olive oil.
When the oil is shimmering, place the seasoned chicken breast in the skillet and sear for 4‑5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Chicken is golden on both sides after searing.
Reduce the heat to medium, spoon the green herb paste over the chicken, and gently press it into the meat.
Cover the skillet and continue cooking for another 8‑10 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (165°F).
Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Chicken is cooked through under the lid with herb paste on top.
Remove the chicken from the pan and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Juices settle during the brief rest before slicing.
Transfer the pan juices and any remaining herb mixture to a small bowl, stir, and drizzle over the sliced chicken for extra flavor.
Serve the green chicken hot, garnished with additional fresh herbs if desired.
