Grilled Chicken Breasts

Skillet Grilled Chicken Breasts

  • 4 4-6 oz. boneless chicken breasts
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • salt and pepper to taste

Heat a large frying pan on medium heat for 30 seconds, then drizzle about a tablespoon of olive oil into the pan and allow to heat through. Place chicken breasts in pan and swirl around to make sure oil has touched all four chicken breasts.  Salt and pepper the chicken breasts to your desired flavor.  Cook chicken breasts without flipping or stirring for 7 or 8 minutes until brown and golden on the bottom side.  Drizzle the tops of the chicken breasts with the second teaspoon of oil. Flip and cook another 7-8 minutes or until chicken breast is cooked thoroughly.  Slice into the thickest part of one of the chicken breasts to check for done-ness.  You should not see any pink color at all.

Serve with a cold salad or chunky salsa and warm side dishes like corn on the cob, Spanish rice, or mashed potatoes.
