- Heat pan with 1 tbsp oil over medium high heat.
- Once hot, place each chicken breast flat in the pan. Cook for 2-4 minutes, or until a crust has formed.
- Flip the chicken breast, cover the pan and reduce the heat to low. Cook an additional 5-8 minutes or until chicken is cooked through (internal temp of 165˚F)
- Preheat oven to 375˚F
- Place chicken breast flat on a large baking sheet.
