Tasty & Juicy Chicken Breast - Easy recipe!
This is the only way I prepare chicken breast. Chicken is pan-seared and then finished in the oven. This two step process ensures a delicious, well-browned outside, and a juicy, flavorful inside. Try it today!
Ingredients
- 2 chicken breasts
- 2 tsp oil (Avocado, Coconut, Butter, or Ghee)
- 1/2 tsp favorite seasoning
- salt to taste, if not in seasoning mix
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
-
In a medium OVEN SAFE pan, heat two tsp of cooking oil. While heating, pat chicken breast dry with paper towel and sprinkle both sides with seasoning of choice. Massage seasoning mix into chicken.
-
Cook chicken in pan until well browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.
-
Place in oven and cook until chicken reaches 165 degrees. The best way to gage this is by using an oven safe thermometer. This works out to about 12-15 minutes for a thin chicken breast and 15-20 minutes for a thicker breast.
Recipe Notes
For seasoning ideas, use your favorite seasoning mix. I love to use a mix of garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme and kosher salt. You can also use a seasoning salt or something like Old Bay.
