Perfectly Cooked Chicken Breasts

    I've always had trouble cooking boneless chicken breasts. They don't always cook all the way through or they come out dry and chewy. Not anymore! I feel like I leveled up my cooking game today!  This is the perfect technique for juicy, tender chicken breasts!

Perfectly Cooked Chicken Breasts

Ingredients:

- 1 to 4 chicken breasts

- salt and pepper to season

- 1 tablespoon of olive oil

    Make sure to flatten the chicken breasts. Make them all the same thickness. I used a meat tenderizer. In a large saute pan with a lid, heat the olive oil over medium high heat until it is quite hot. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Turn the heat to medium, place chicken in the pan and let cook for one minute (not actually browning or searing them). Flip the chicken and cover the pan. Turn the heat to low. Let the covered chicken cook for exactly 10 minutes. DO NOT OPEN the lid. No peaking! Once the ten minutes has elapsed, turn the heat off and let sit for another 10 minutes. Do not open the lid. After the chicken has rested for 10 minutes, uncover and make sure the chicken has cooked through.
