Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken breasts boneless skinless
- salt & pepper
- 2 teaspoons of your favorite seasoning blend
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Place the chicken breasts onto a flat surface and pat dry with paper towels.
- Season both sides of the chicken with salt and pepper, and your choice of additional seasonings, if using, just on one side.
- In a large cast-iron or stainless steel pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Place the chicken pieces, salt-only side down, in the pan and cook undisturbed for 6 minutes or until the meat lifts easily from the pan and the surface is golden brown.
- Using a spatula, carefully flip the chicken and cook for an additional 3 to 5 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165F.
- Turn off the heat, remove the chicken from the pan onto a plate, and allow it to rest for 5 minutes before slicing or serving.
