Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

Sear the Chicken
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook without moving them for about 6-7 minutes, until they are golden brown.

Flip and Cook
Flip the chicken breasts and continue cooking for another 6-7 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the juices run clear.
