Method
Prepare the Chicken

Cook the Chicken
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and taco seasoning. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken breasts and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked through and no longer pink in the center. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).
