Perfect Pan-Seared Chicken Breast by Meatupfordinner

Ingredients

• 4 large chicken breasts
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1 tsp dried parsley
• 1 tsp dried basil
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp salt (adjust to taste)

Instructions

1. Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels to ensure a better sear over medium-high heat until browned, about 4 min.
2. Combine the paprika, oregano, parsley, basil, garlic powder, and salt in a small bowl until ready to serve.
3. Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil and coat evenly with the seasoning mixture until ready to serve.
4. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot.
5. Place chicken in the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the exterior is golden brown.
6. Remove from the pan and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
