Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, Parmesan, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Marinate the Chicken: Add chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours for deeper flavor).
Cook the Chicken: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil. Cook the marinated chicken for 4-5 minutes on each side, until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Optional Oven Finish: For extra crispness, transfer the skillet to a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) and bake for 5-7 minutes.
Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle with fresh parsley and an extra touch of Parmesan before serving.
