Preparing the Chicken
Start by pounding the chicken breasts to ensure even cooking. Sprinkle salt and pepper on both sides.
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil and let it heat for 1-2 minutes.
Heat the Pan
Place the chicken breasts in the pan and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
Cooking the Chicken
When flipping the chicken, add minced garlic to the pan. Sauté for a minute for that perfect aroma!
Add Garlic
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Checking Doneness
Once cooked, let the chicken rest for 5 minutes. This keeps it juicy and flavorful.
Rest the Chicken
Slice the chicken and serve with roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
Serving Suggestions
For juicier chicken, marinate it for at least 30 minutes before cooking. Avoid overcrowding the pan to get that perfect sear
