But if you are, definitely cut that out in favor of roasting. Roasting any ingredient intensifies and concentrates the flavor. Think about how cauliflower tastes much better after being cooked the oven. If you really want to earn brownie points, sear it in a skillet, skin side-down before transferring it to the preheated oven.
That will help the skin crisp up and take on an attractive golden-brown color. In the mood for something faster? This is the only instance in which we give boneless breasts a pass. Pound them out very thinly and fry in a screaming hot skillet with a glug of neutral oil. A good pan sauce can fix just about anything. So you overcooked your chicken breast? I always use the same five ingredients: coarse kosher sea salt, freshly ground black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper.
I usually stick with Herbes de Provence or Italian seasoning. Mix up your blend of seasonings and spices in a small prep bowl so everything gets evenly distributed when you sprinkle it over top. They should be seasoned liberally for maximum flavor. You can make a large batch of this spice blend ahead of time and keep it in a sealed container at room temperature to use for future recipes.
I think searing is absolutely necessary when serving chicken breasts as a protein on the side of a dish. Like searing any meat, it helps develop more complex flavors, gives it that nice crust, and seals in the juices.
Take a large non-stick skillet and set it over medium heat. Place the chicken into the skillet and cook on each side for about minutes. Transfer the chicken to a parchment or baking mat lined baking sheet. Make sure it has rims or sides. Place in the oven at degrees for about minutes. The baking time will depend on the thickness of the chicken breasts. I always use am instant read thermometer to check the temp around the 18 minute mark. Cover it with foil or another baking sheet and let it sit for 5 minutes before you cut into it.
