Discover a Delicious, Simple, and Quick Skillet Chicken Breast Recipe. Perfect for a fast and healthy dinner or a tasty lunch, using just a few ingredients: chicken breast, salt, and pepper.
Preparation Time: 5 minutes
Cooking Time: 10 minutes
Difficulty: Easy
Ingredients:
- 500 g chicken breast
- 3-4 tablespoons olive oil (or vegetable oil)
- Salt, to taste
- Ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions:
- Rinse the chicken breast and pat it dry with paper towels.
- Cut the chicken breast into medium-sized pieces (about 2-3 cm).
- Pour the olive oil into a large skillet and heat it over medium-high heat.
- Add the chicken pieces to the skillet in a single layer to ensure even cooking. Do not overcrowd the pan.
- Sprinkle salt and pepper over the chicken pieces. Cook the chicken for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the pieces are golden and cooked through.
- Stir occasionally to prevent burning and to ensure even cooking.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary (add more salt and pepper to taste).
Tip: To ensure the chicken remains juicy, do not overcook it. You can test the doneness by cutting one piece in half – if it’s white and the juices run clear, it’s done.
Serve the hot chicken breast with a simple side like a basic salad, creamy Parmesan rice, or steamed vegetables. Enjoy your meal!
