   Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.

   Sear the Chicken

   In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear for about 6-7 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
