Perfect Moist Chicken Breast

Ingredients:


Boneless, skinless chicken breast
Olive oil
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper



Directions:


Remove the chicken from the package to a paper towel on your cutting board. Use kitchen shears to trim off larger pieces of yellow fat. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and a grill pan or oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Brush both sides of the chicken with olive oil to keep them moist, season both sides with salt and pepper and put them smooth-side-down onto the smoking hot grill pan. Do not touch for 3 minutes, then turn over and place the grill pan into the hot oven to roast.

Cook the chicken for 15 to 20 minutes, until it reaches an internal temperature of 155 to 160 degrees. The temperature will continue to rise a bit as it will continue to cook after you have taken it from the oven. Allow the meat to rest while you prepare your vegetables so the juices will reabsorb into the meat.
