Cook the Chicken
In a skillet over medium heat, add a little more olive oil if needed and place the seasoned chicken breasts in the skillet. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is no longer pink in the center and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). Remove from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
