8 oz skinless chicken breast fillets
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 shallot, chopped fine
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon paprika
Juice from 1 lemon
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, plus more for garnishing
Salt
Freshly ground pepper
Lemon wedges
Lay the chicken breasts on a piece of waxed paper. Cover with another piece of waxed paper and strike with a rolling pin until the chicken is about ¼ in. thick. Slice the chicken into ½ in. wide strips.
Pour the oil into a large skillet and warm over high heat. Add the chicken, shallot, garlic, and paprika and stir fry over high heat until cooked through and golden, about 3 minutes.
Add the lemon juice and parsley and season with salt and pepper.
Garnish with parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
