Ingredients

  • 2 chicken breast with skin, medium
  • Pinch salt
  • Pinch black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon paprika powder
  • 1 tablespoon rosemary chopped
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 garlic crushed, cloves

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, paprika powder, and chopped rosemary. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the seasoned chicken breast and combine with the crushed garlic cloves.
  2. Heat a large skillet on HIGH, then add the remaining olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken breasts skin side down. Reduce the heat to medium-high. Cook for 5 minutes until the skin is crispy. Flip the chicken breast and cook for another 5 minutes. Reduce the heat and cook until the chicken is done. (Use a meat thermometer.) Don't cover the pan while the chicken is cooking. Doing so will create steam, and the chicken will steam instead of sear. We want to achieve crispy and brown skin.
  3. Remove the chicken from the skillet and rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Enjoy!
