"Lazy Girl" Chicken Breasts
  1. Pat your chicken dry and season generously on both sides with salt and pepper

  2. Heat avocado oil in a large stainless steel or cast iron skillet over medium high heat

  3. Add your chicken breasts to the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan, and cook, undisturbed, for 7 minutes (Its important not to move them around while cooking because you want a nice golden crust to form)

  4. Flip the chicken once it can easily release from the pan and cook for another 5-7 minutes (see note)

  5. Lower the pan heat to medium and add ¼ cup of chicken broth, scraping up any chicken bits as the broth deglazes the pan, then add another ¼ cup to cover the bottom on the pan

  6. Allow the sauce to reduce until there is only a thin glaze over the bottom of the pan, tossing the chicken in the sauce as you go, for another 3-5 minutes

  7. Remove the chicken from the skillet and allow to rest for 5 minutes before slicing

  8. Slice into your juicy chicken breasts, serve (with the pan drippings), and ENJOY!
