Chef's Note
This recipe perfectly utilizes the 'Five-Way Transformation Framework.' By starting with a neutral protein, we only need 5 minutes of heat to infuse the chicken with lemon and oregano, preventing the meat from becoming rubbery while delivering a completely different flavor profile than a stir-fry or taco.
