Pan Seared Chicken Breasts

🧂 Ingredients

• 2 tsp steak seasoning
• 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
• 1/2 tsp sweet paprika
• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (1.3 lbs. total)
• 1 Tbsp cooking oil
• 1 Tbsp butter (optional)

Instructions

• 1 Combine the steak seasoning, smoked paprika, and sweet paprika in a bowl. Coat
  the chicken breasts liberally with the seasoning on all sides.
• 2 Add the cooking oil to a large skillet and heat over medium-low (or medium for
  thin-cut breasts). Once hot, swirl the oil to coat the skillet.
• 3 Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 8 minutes without
  flipping (5 minutes for thin-cut breasts). Flip the chicken and then cook on the
  second side until well browned and cooked through (internal temperature of
  165ºF).
• 4 For extra luscious chicken, add a tablespoon of butter to the skillet, allow it
  to melt, then flip the chicken a couple of times to coat in the melted butter.
• 5 Transfer the chicken to a clean cutting board and allow it to rest for five
  minutes before slicing and serving.
