Ingredients
- 4 chicken breast boneless, skinless about 7 oz/ 200 g, Note 2
- 1 tablespoon canola oil or vegetable oil, Note 3
Marinade:
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar or white wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon oregano dried
- ½ teaspoon thyme dried
- ½ teaspoon parsley dried
- 2 garlic grated, cloves
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- ½ teaspoon salt or Kosher, fine sea salt
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper ground
Instructions
Tenderize chicken:
- Pound: Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board. Cover them with plastic foil and pound them to an even thickness; the pieces should be about 1 -1 ½ inches/ 2 ½ - 3 ½ cm thick.
Marinate chicken breasts:
- Bag: Place the chicken breasts and all the marinade ingredients in a gallon Ziploc bag. Seal the bag and squeeze out the excess air. Place the bag in a bowl or baking dish. Let the chicken marinade in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours and up to 12.
- Container: Alternatively, marinate the chicken in a glass container, ensuring all the pieces are covered in marinade. Turn the chicken in the marinade once or twice during the marinating time.
Pan-fry chicken breasts:
- Heat 1 tablespoon canola or vegetable oil in a large pan (Note 6). Lift the chicken pieces from the marinade using tongs and shake them gently to remove the excess. Pan-fry the breasts for 5 minutes on medium heat without moving. Check gently if you can release them from the pan easily; if not, cook them for another minute or so.
- Flip and cook for another 5 minutes. If the outside of the chicken seems to be getting too dark, lower the heat.
- Flip again and continue cooking until the chicken is cooked; a couple more minutes. The internal temperature should be 165°F/ 74°C.
- Rest the chicken loosely covered with aluminum foil for a few minutes before serving.
Equipments used:
Notes
- If using a stainless-steel pan, add one extra tablespoon of canola oil when flipping the chicken.
- If using thin-cut chicken slices, cook the slices for 3-4 minutes per side on medium-high.
- Use an oil with a high smoking point.
