Instructions
- Pound the chicken breasts to an even 1-inch thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin. This ensures even cooking.
- Season both sides of the chicken breasts with coarse salt, garlic powder, and black pepper to taste.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.
- Place the chicken in the skillet and cook for 4–5 minutes on one side without moving it, to get a good sear.
- Flip the chicken breasts over and cook for an additional 4–5 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165˚F.
