Italian Seasoning Chicken Recipe
Description
The recipe begins by gently pounding medium boneless chicken breasts to an even thickness for consistent cooking. A spice blend of Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, sweet paprika, salt, and pepper is evenly sprinkled over both sides of the chicken. Olive oil is heated in a pan to medium-high, where the chicken is seared for 3-4 minutes per side, forming a dark golden crust on the bottom before finishing over medium heat until fully cooked with an internal temperature of 165°F.
This method produces juicy chicken breasts with a seasoned, aromatic crust that works well as an entrée alongside vegetables, salads, or pasta. The seasoning blend adds savory and slightly smoky notes without overpowering the chicken's natural flavor.
Ingredients
- 4 medium chicken breast boneless
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon sweet paprika each
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Dry the chicken breasts with paper towels then put them on a cutting board. Use the palm of your hand to gently pound the thick end of the chicken breasts so that each piece is even in thickness.
- Mix the Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper in a small bowl then sprinkle the spices evenly over both sides of the chicken.
- Heat the oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and let them cook for 3-4 minutes until the bottom side is dark golden brown. Turn the heat down to medium and flip the chicken oven. Continue to cook for another 6-8, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit and is no longer pink in the middle.
