Easy Skillet Lemon Chicken

 1 cup fresh lemon juice
 2/3 cup Colavita Extra Virgin Olive Oil
 1 tbsp Colavita Aged Red Wine Vinegar
 2 tsp minced garlic
 1 tsp dried oregano
 Salt
 1/4 tsp black pepper
 4 bone-in chicken breast halves with skin on
 6 bone-in chicken thighs with skin on
 1/4 cup fresh Italian (flat-leaf) parsley
1

Put the lemon juice, EVOO, red wine vinegar, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper in a small bowl and whisk to combine.

2

Season your chicken with salt and pepper

3

Pour half the olive oil mixture into a large metal skillet and heat over high heat until the oil is hot- about 5 minutes.

Using metal tongs, place the chicken, skin-side down, on the skillet. Allow them to brown on that side for about 10 minutes.

5

Flip the chicken over and pour the rest of the olive oil mixture over them. Cover and cook another 12 minutes.

Garnish with fresh parsley and serve!
