Ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
- 1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper, divided
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 teaspoons parmesan cheese, grated (optional)
Instructions
Pound the chicken breasts with a meat mallet or a rolling pin, to tenderize the meat and ensure uniform thickness.
Sprinkle salt and pepper on both sides of the chicken and let sit for 15 minutes or so.
Heat a skillet over med-high heat, and add olive oil.
When pan is sufficiently heated, sear chicken breasts over high heat.
Allow about 2 minutes (until lightly browned) before turning to other side.
Optional: Before serving, sprinkle grated cheese on chicken and broil for approx 5-10 mins (until cheese is melted).
Serving suggestions: Serve this over pasta, or as chicken sandwich with fresh tomatoes, lettuce and mustard/mayo.
Personally I love this with fried rice too.
