Ingredients
  

Main
  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh herbs optional, for garnish

Equipment

  • Cutting board
  • Sharp knife
  • Large skillet
  • Tongs
  • Meat mallet or rolling pin

Method
 

  1. Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap or parchment paper.
  2. Using a meat mallet or rolling pin, gently pound the chicken to an even thickness, about 1/2 inch.
  3. Rub both sides of the chicken with olive oil, then sprinkle with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  4. Place the skillet over medium-high heat and allow it to heat up for a couple of minutes.
  5. Add the seasoned chicken to the hot skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
  6. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  7. Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes.
  8. Slice the chicken and serve it with your favorite sides or sauces.

Notes

For best results, do not overcrowd the skillet and let the chicken rest before slicing to keep it juicy.
