A flavorful and easy-to-make chicken breast recipe, perfect for a quick and satisfying meal.
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
Preheating the oven ensures even cooking and helps achieve the desired texture.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and melt the butter. Once melted, add the olive oil and stir to combine.
Combining butter and olive oil prevents the butter from burning while adding flavor.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Keep stirring the garlic to prevent it from sticking to the skillet.
Season the chicken breast with paprika, salt, and black pepper on both sides.
Seasoning both sides ensures the chicken is flavorful throughout.
Place the chicken breast in the skillet and cook for 4 minutes on one side.
Avoid moving the chicken too much to allow a nice sear to develop.
Flip the chicken breast and cook for another 6 minutes on low heat, covered.
Covering the skillet helps retain moisture, keeping the chicken tender.
Transfer the chicken breast to an oven-proof dish, pour the skillet drippings over it, and cover with aluminum foil.
The drippings add extra flavor to the chicken during the resting period.
Place the dish in the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes without opening the door.
Resting allows the juices to redistribute, making the chicken juicy.
Serve the chicken breast with the pan drippings poured over it. Enjoy your meal!
Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley for added color and flavor.
