Ingredients
Seasoning:
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon oregano
- ½ teaspoon salt
Chicken:
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, about 1lb
- 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil, for cooking
Instructions
Season the chicken:
- In a small dish, combine the seasoning ingredients. Alternatively, you can use your favorite seasoning mix or my epic blackened seasoning.
- On a flat surface, pat dry the chicken breasts. Distribute the seasoning on both sides of the chicken breasts.
Cook the chicken:
- Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, melt the butter. Place the chicken breasts on the pan and cook the first side for 7 minutes. Flip the chicken breasts over and cook for another 7 minutes on the other side until the internal temperature reaches 165F. Cooking time on the second side will vary by the thickness of the chicken breast.
- Remove the chicken breasts from the pan onto a board to rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Notes
- If swapping the seasoning above for my blackened seasoning, reduce the amount to 1 ½ teaspoons. This is enough to give your chicken breasts a terrific kick of flavor!
- If you want to grill butterflied chicken breasts, reduce the cooking time by about 3 to 4 minutes per side.
