  • Place a large heavy skillet on a high heat; then add in the olive oil and season the chicken with the salt and the black pepper
  • Add in the chicken once the oil heats up; then sauté for about 4 minutes per side
  • Place the chicken pan into your iven at a temperature of about 400°F for about 7 minutes
