How to make really juicy & flavorful chicken breast every time!
Servings: 2 people
Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken breast 2x 8oz chicken breasts for best results
- 1 tsp Lawry's Seasoned Salt or your favorite seasoning salt
- 1/2 tsp Lawry's Seasoned Pepper or 1/4 tsp black pepper + 1/4 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp sour cream or greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp neutral oil
- 1 tbsp butter
Instructions
- Season the chicken breast all over with Lawry's Seasoned Salt, Lawry's Seasoned Pepper, and garlic powder. *you can sub the Lawry's Seasoned Pepper for 1/4 tsp paprika + 1/4 tsp black pepper.
- Coat the chicken in sour cream (or greek yogurt) and let it rest on the counter for 30 min to marinate and come to room temperature.
- In a skillet on medium heat, add some oil and sear the chicken breast for 2-3 minutes.
- Flip the chicken over, add the butter and baste the chicken a few times until covered in butter.
- Reduce the heat to low, then cover for about 7 minutes. I use a meat thermometer to check the temperature and take it out of the pan at 160 degrees Fahrenheit (the chicken will continue to cook a little more while resting).
- Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes.
- The pan juices have a ton of flavor and can be used to cook something else (like pasta), pour over your chicken, or make a gravy so don't throw it out!
- Cut the chicken into strips and enjoy with rice & veggies, pasta, salad, & more!
