Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon ground paprika
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 3 tablespoons olive oil divided
- ½ cup white wine
- ⅓ cup low sodium chicken broth
Instructions
- Place the chicken breasts between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound the meat to even thickness.
- Combine the salt, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and Italian seasoning in a small dish.
- Rub 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the seasoning into the chicken breasts.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large heavy-bottomed frying pan set over medium heat.
- Once heated, place the chicken breasts in pan, cooking for 3-4 minutes per side until the chicken is browned. Do this in 2 batches, adding in more oil if needed.
- Remove the chicken from the pan and pour in the wine and chicken broth, using a wooden spoon to scrape up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Turn up the heat until the mixture bubbles, then reduce to a simmer.
- Place the chicken breasts back in the pan, and cook the chicken, covered, for an additional 10 minutes.
- Uncover the pan and let the chicken cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
- Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
- Storage: Store pan seared chicken breast in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- Use a heavy-bottomed pan, such as a cast iron skillet.
- If your chicken breasts are all different thicknesses, pound them to an even thickness to help them cook more evenly.
- Properly cooked seared chicken should be firm and the juices should run clear when it is cut. It should register 165°F on an instant-read thermometer.
