From previous steps

  • Seasoned chicken

Preheat a pan or griddle over high heat. Once smoking, add enough olive oil to coat the cooking surface.

Add the pepper-crusted chicken to the pan, press it down to ensure even contact, then allow to undisturbed for a few minutes to develop a deeply crust.

Flip to sear the other side. Remove from the heat once the bottom has also developed a crust and the internal temperature of the breast reaches 155°F/68°C.
