Ingredients

• Chicken breast - 400 grams
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons

1. Cut the chicken breast into 2.5 cm cubes and place them in a mixing bowl.
2. In a separate bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, black pepper, chopped parsley, and lemon juice to create the marinade.
