Part 2/7:
Chicken Prep: Slice the chicken breast in half lengthwise for faster cooking. Season with salt and freshly cracked black pepper. For a fun twist, consider investing in a large pepper mill; many find it a great conversation starter in the kitchen!
Cooking the Chicken
Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat, adding some olive oil to prevent sticking. With more cooks shifting towards healthier, non-toxic cookware, ceramic pans are a fantastic choice and worth considering. Be sure to follow standard safety measures, like using a splatter guard, to keep your stove clean while you sauté the chicken breasts for about four minutes on each side, reaching an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
