Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ cup (62.5 g) all-purpose flour

Instructions
- Pound thick chicken breasts to ½ to ¾ inch thickness, or slice large ones in half horizontally for even cooking.
- Season both sides of the chicken with kosher salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Dredge the chicken in flour, shaking off the excess.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken and cook for 4 to 5 minutes per side until golden brown. Chicken does not need to be fully cooked at this point. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
