Instructions

  1. Prepare the chicken breasts by gently pounding them to an even thickness and seasoning with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.

  3. Sear the chicken in a large skillet with olive oil over medium-high heat for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from skillet.
