Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Season the chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Sprinkle salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Italian seasoning evenly on both sides of each breast.
- Dredge in flour: Place the flour on a plate. Dredge each chicken breast in flour, making sure to shake off the excess.
- Heat the oil: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers but isn’t smoking.
- Cook the chicken: Carefully add the chicken breasts to the skillet. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is golden brown and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Rest before serving: Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing or serving.
Notes
The flour creates a delicious crust; you can use gluten-free flour if desired. Feel free to adjust seasonings based on your taste; smoked paprika can add a nice twist.
