Cooking Instructions
- 1
Prepare the Chicken
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. This helps achieve a good sear.

In a small bowl, mix together salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Sprinkle the seasoning evenly over both sides of the chicken breasts.

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

Sear the Chicken
Add the chicken breasts to the pan and sear for about 5-7 minutes on one side without moving them, until golden brown.

Flip and Cook
Flip the chicken breasts and reduce the heat to medium. Cook for another 5-7 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

Add Lemon Juice
Remove the pan from heat and drizzle lemon juice over the chicken. Let it rest for a few minutes.
