1. 1Preheat your oven to 425 degrees.
2. 2Pat dry your chicken breast. Generously season both sides with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. ( don't be shy on the seasoning)
3. 3Heat your skillet on the stove over medium-high heat. Make sure to let the pan get hot before adding oil. ( I use cast iron) We want to create a crust on the chicken. ( refer to video reel if you have questions)
4. 4After the pan has heated about 2-3minutes, add 1 TBSP butter and a drizzle of olive oil. (about 1/2 TBSP). When butter is melted and sizzling hot , add in seasoned chicken breast. Do not touch for at least 2 minutes. Flip and sear other side about 1-2 minutes. You want a golden brown crust on each side. You will have to batch sear your chicken about 4 at a time and transfer over to a cookie sheet to finish cooking in the oven if you are cooking several breast. If you are just cooking a few in the cast iron. You can transfer that directly to the oven.
5. 5After searing each chicken breast, transfer them all to your cookie sheet. Bake in the oven at 425 degrees for about 15 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees.
