Simple Pan-Fried Chicken Breasts

1. 1

   Pound the chicken breasts with a meat mallet or a rolling pin, to tenderize the meat and ensure uniform thickness.

2. 2

   Sprinkle salt and pepper on both sides of the chicken and let sit for 15 minutes or so.

3. 3

   Heat a skillet over med-high heat, and add olive oil.

4. 4

   When pan is sufficiently heated, sear chicken breasts over high heat.

5. 5

   Allow about 2 minutes (until lightly browned) before turning to other side.

6. 6

   Optional: Before serving, sprinkle grated cheese on chicken and broil for approx 5-10 mins (until cheese is melted).

7. 7

   Serving suggestions: Serve this over pasta, or as chicken sandwich with fresh tomatoes, lettuce and mustard/mayo.

8. 8

   Personally I love this with fried rice too.
