Ingredients

Scale

 

  • 4 chicken breasts (thin, boneless, and skinless)
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Optional substitutions:

  • Use gluten-free flour for a gluten-free version.
  • Replace olive oil with avocado oil for a richer flavor.
  • Add red pepper flakes for an extra kick.

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Chicken

Begin by drying your chicken breasts using paper towels. If you bought thicker chicken breasts, butterfly them to ensure they cook evenly.

Step 2: Mix the Seasonings

In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Italian seasoning. Stir the mixture well to blend all the flavors together.

Step 3: Coat the Chicken

Using a fork or tongs, coat each chicken breast in the flour mixture. Make sure each piece is evenly covered on all sides.

Step 4: Heat the Skillet

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, place the flour-coated chicken breasts into the skillet.

Step 5: Cook the Chicken

Cook the chicken for 4 to 5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Make sure to flip the chicken only once during cooking, ensuring it stays juicy and evenly browned. The chicken should take about 8-10 minutes total to cook through.

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy!

Remove the chicken from the skillet and serve warm with your choice of side dishes like pasta, vegetables, or salad.

Equipment

Notes

  • Tip #1: Ensure the chicken is dry before coating with the flour mixture to help achieve a crispy crust.
  • Tip #2: Use a thermometer to check if the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165°F to ensure it is fully cooked.
  • Tip #3: Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before cutting to lock in the juices.
