–Seasoning of choice –Boneless, skinless chicken breasts –Cooking oil –Butter (optional)
1
Begin by seasoning the chicken breast liberally on each side.
2
Add a tablespoon or so of your favorite cooking oil to a large skillet. Heat the skillet over medium-low (or medium heat for thin cut breasts).
3
Once hot, swirl the oil in the skillet to coat the surface, then add the chicken breasts. Let the chicken breasts cook for 8 minutes (5 minutes for thin breasts). Flip once and cook until well browned on the second side and cooked through.
4
Add butter to the skillet, allow it to melt, then flip the chicken a couple of times to coat. The butter will help dissolve some of the flavor off the bottom of the skillet to further coat the chicken.
5
Transfer the cooked chicken to a clean cutting board and allow it to rest for five minutes before slicing and serving.
