Helpful Tips for Picking the Ingredients:
- Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts: Choose fresh chicken breasts that are pale pink, with no discoloration or off odors. They should be free from excess moisture and have a uniform thickness for even cooking.
- Olive Oil: Opt for a high-quality extra virgin olive oil. Look for a dark, glass bottle to protect the oil from light, and ensure it’s well within its best-by date.
- Garlic: Select garlic bulbs that are firm and plump, with cloves that are uniform in color. Avoid any that have begun to sprout or show signs of softness.
- Lemon (Juice and Zest): Pick a vibrant, unwrinkled lemon that feels heavy in your hand. It should yield a good amount of juice when squeezed. Zest the lemon before juicing it to maximize the flavor.
- Fresh Parsley: Choose fresh parsley with vibrant green leaves. Ensure it’s free from yellowing or wilting. Wash and pat it dry before chopping.
- Salt and Pepper: Use your preferred salt and freshly ground black pepper. Taste and adjust the seasoning to your liking.
