- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil - divided
- 1 tablespoon Cajun or Blackened Seasoning
Instructions
- Pat the chicken breasts with a paper towel.

Notes
Use a meat thermometer and cook your chicken to 165ºF internal temp. Cook time will vary quite a bit depending on thickness and size of the chicken, how cold the chicken is, how hot your pan is, etc. The only way to guarantee perfectly cooked chicken is by using a thermometer.
