Are you tired of serving dry and tasteless chicken breasts for dinner? Look no further! In this guide, we will share with you the secret to cooking soft and tender pan-seared chicken breasts that will make your taste buds dance with joy. Follow our step-by-step instructions for a guaranteed delicious and juicy outcome.

Ingredients:

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons of olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon of paprika

Step 1: Prepare the Chicken Breast

Start by patting the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. This will help the seasoning adhere better to the meat. Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Adjust the amount of seasoning based on your personal preferences.

Step 2: Preheat the Pan

Place a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. Allow it to heat for a couple of minutes until it becomes hot. Adding the chicken to a hot pan will help create a nice sear on the outside while keeping the inside tender and juicy.

Step 3: Add the Chicken to the Pan

Once the pan is hot enough, add the olive oil and swirl it around to coat the bottom evenly. Carefully place the seasoned chicken breasts into the pan. Be cautious to avoid splattering hot oil.

Step 4: Cook the Chicken

Cook the chicken for about 6-8 minutes on one side without disturbing it. This will allow the chicken to develop a beautiful golden crust. Flip the chicken breasts using tongs and cook for an additional 6-8 minutes on the other side.

Step 5: Check for Doneness

Ensure your chicken is fully cooked by checking its internal temperature. It should read 165°F (75°C) using a meat thermometer. If you don’t have a thermometer, make a small cut in the thickest part of the chicken to check if it’s white and juices run clear.

Step 6: Rest and Serve

Allow the cooked chicken breasts to rest on a cutting board for a few minutes. This will help retain their juiciness. Slice the chicken into thin, even pieces and serve while still warm. Enjoy!

By following this guide, you’ll achieve perfectly cooked, soft, and tender pan-seared chicken breasts every time. Serve them alongside your favorite sides for a satisfying and healthy meal. Enjoy your culinary success!
