Seared Chicken Breast
Ingredients:
1lbs Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breast
½ tsp Kosher Salt
¼ tsp Ground Black Pepper
¼ tsp Granulated Garlic
¼ tsp Granulated Onion
¼ tsp Ginger powder
¼ tsp Smoked Paprika
¼ tsp Oregano
½ Tbsp Olive Oil
1 Tbsp Vegetable Oil
NOTE:
I don’t recommend using olive oil to sear the chicken breast as it has a lower smoke point than vegetable oil causing the oil to break down and leave a harsh taste on the finished chicken breast.
Preparation:
Preheat the oven to 400F or 200C. In a bowl, mix the salt and spices together and set aside.
Drizzle the olive oil over the chicken, ensuring its fulling coated. Evenly season the chicken with the spice mix and let marinate for 20 minutes or up to an hour.
Preheat a medium size pan on medium heat, then add a neutral oil like vegetable oil or canola and increase the heat to medium-high. Place the chicken into the pan facing away from you so the oil doesn't splatter towards you. Sear each side for about 2 minutes or until both sides are golden brown. At this time, the chicken will still be raw in the middle which is okay, that's why we are going to finish it in the oven.
Now place the chicken breast onto a sheet pan lined with parchment and bake at 400F for 10-20 minutes depending on the thickness of your chicken breast. Once time is up, check the thickest part of the chicken breast with a thermometer. If it reads 160F - 165F the chicken is done.
Remove it from the oven, allow it to rest for 5 minutes and enjoy!
