Pan-Seared Chicken Breast

Pan-Seared Chicken Breast

Chicken breast sears in a hot pan until each side bears a golden, aromatic crust while the interior stays surprisingly juicy. Lean, protein-rich and endlessly adaptable, it turns a diet staple into a crave-worthy meal.

Instructions

    After the chicken has softened, cut the thick chicken breast in half and score the outer layer with a crisscross pattern.

    Find a bowl and put in the sauce (the sauce is enough for two chicken breasts).

    Fry until one side does not stick to the pan and is cooked, then flip it over and continue frying.

    When pan-frying, you can brush the sauce onto the chicken to give it color.
