Tender, juicy, and loaded with delicious flavors, this pan seared chicken breast it's a super easy-to-make recipe that's ready in just 20 minutes, and it can be paired with many side dishes to create a complete meal.
Slice each chicken breast in half lengthwise or pound chicken breast to a 1-inch thickness.
Season on both sides with salt, pepper, paprika, Italian seasoning, onion, and garlic powder.
Turn on the stove on medium-high heat, and heat a large skillet. Once hot, add the olive oil and spread it over the entire surface of the pan.
Place the chicken breast in the pan and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side, without moving until it has a golden crust. Use an instant meat thermometer to check if the chicken is done cooking - remove the heat once it reaches 165 degrees F.
Let the chicken rest for a few minutes to lock in the juices and serve topped with freshly chopped parsley.
