Pan-seared Chicken Breast
  1. If your chicken breasts are larger, slice them in half to create 4 thinner chicken breasts, then pat them dry with a paper towel. Brush 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the chicken.

  2. In a small bowl, stir all of the seasonings together. Use your hands to sprinkle the spice mixture over the chicken, coating all sides.

  3. Pour the remaining olive oil in a large, deep skillet or a cast iron skillet and heat it over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken smooth side down and cook the chicken for 5 minutes. Use tongs to flip the chicken over, then reduce the heat to medium and cook the chicken for 2-5 minutes. NOTE: cook times vary depending on thickness of the chicken; always use a meat thermometer to confirm the internal temperature.

  4. Add the butter to the skillet, then remove the skillet from the heat.

  5. Let the chicken rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes before slicing. Enjoy!
