Simple Tender Pan Seared Skillet Chicken Breasts

Begin by patting the chicken breasts dry and seasoning them with salt and pepper.

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Once the skillet is hot, add the chicken breasts. Cook for 7-8 minutes on each side, or until they are golden-brown and cooked through. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.

In the same skillet, add garlic and sauté it for 1 minute.

Then add the chicken broth, lemon juice, and dried thyme.

Bring it to a boil and let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes or until it has reduced by half.

Return the chicken to the skillet and spoon some of the sauce over it.

Let the chicken cook in the sauce for a further 3-4 minutes.

Your pan-seared chicken breasts are now ready to serve. Garnish with additional thyme or lemon slices if desired.
