Cooking Chicken on the Stove

Happy Sunday, ladies! We have 1:00 church right now, and it isn't even funny how many times I forget to start cooking dinner before we leave. Luckily, this way to cook chicken is super easy and fast, and you can pretend that you had a plan for dinner all morning ;) ha!

Ingredients:

• 2-4 chicken breasts
• 1tbsp olive oil
• salt & pepper, or other spices

Instructions:

1. Season the chicken breasts. You can just use salt & pepper, or try out your own blend of spices depending on what you're eating with the chicken. Another option is to dredge the chicken in a little flour and spices (a combo I like is rosemary, garlic, & salt). This will give your chicken a subtle crust.
2. Heat a large sauté pan on the stove over med-high heat. When it's quite hot, add the oil and brush around the pan. Turn down to medium.
3. Add the chicken breasts. Cook for 1 minute, then flip each breast to the other side. Turn heat down to low.
4. Cover the pan with a tight-fitting lid, and cook for 10 minutes. Don't lift the lid or peek. Seriously, set the timer and walk away!
5. Remove from heat, and let sit an additional 10 minutes. When time's up, check the chicken to make sure it's cooked, and you're done! Eat with pasta, salad, or on its own. So yummy!

I found this method on thekitchn.com, and it produces moist & tender chicken breasts every. single. time. Hope it works for you!
