In this recipe, we use the most basic ingredients most people have already in their kitchen. The salt, pepper, and garlic create an aromatic and delicious rub that compliments the chicken's flavor. The recipe uses chicken breast, which is cooked for about 6-7 minutes in each side. I used a good non-stick high-quality pan, which makes the cooking a lot easier since the chicken obviously doesn't stick to the pan at all, despite the little amount of oil used.
I consider this recipe as one of my go-to since it's very quick to make, easy to clean, and healthy. The primary ingredient of this recipe is the chicken breast, which is known for being a good source of protein.
While the finished dish is brown on the outside, it leaves the inside of the chicken breast so moist and flavorful. Try this recipe for a quick and healthy meal you can make at home!
