Ingredients
- 4 chicken thighs (can also use breasts)

- fresh lemon
- sea salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
-
Pat chicken dry with a paper towel. Season one side with salt, pepper and Italian seasoning.

Coat the other side of chicken with seasoning, flip and allow to cook for another 8-10 minutes.

Let the chicken rest on a plate for 5 minutes before enjoying.
Recipe Notes
**You can make your own Italian seasoning to ensure it's SIBO friendly (without garlic and onion) by combining 2 tbsp of oregano, basil and parsley and one tbsp of sage and thyme. You can also purchase a SIBO-friendly option on amazon here.
