Alright, chicken breast it is 😄
Here’s a simple, foolproof way to make it juicy—no drama, no dryness.
Juicy Pan-Seared Chicken Breast
You need:
- Chicken breast
- Salt, pepper
- Olive oil or butter
- (Optional but great) garlic powder, paprika, Italian seasoning
Steps:
- Flatten it a bit – pound or slice so it’s even thickness (this is the secret).
- Season well on both sides.
- Heat a pan on medium-high, add oil.
- Cook 5–6 min per side without moving it much.
- Take it off when internal temp hits 165°F / 74°C.
- Rest 5 minutes before cutting.
💡 Extra juicy trick: Brine it first—15 minutes in salted water, then pat dry.
