This recipe draws on Jordan’s za’atar tradition. Rub chicken breast with olive oil and za’atar, then cook it quickly in a skillet. The simple, low-oil cooking method makes a heart-friendly, diabetes-friendly meal.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Marinate the chicken

10 min

Rub the chicken breast with the olive oil, za’atar, lemon juice, crushed garlic, and salt. Let it rest at room temperature for 10 minutes.

2

Cook

15 min

Cook the marinated chicken breast in a preheated skillet over medium heat for 15 minutes, turning it so all sides cook, until fully cooked through.

3

Rest and slice

5 min

Remove the cooked chicken from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes, then slice and serve.

Reminder

Let the chicken come to room temperature before cooking so it cooks evenly; cold chicken may remain raw in the center.
