LORE'S PAN ROASTED CHICKEN BREAST

Lore's Pan Roasted Chicken Breast image

This delicious recipe was given to me by my aunt. Note: As of Nov 3, 2008, I've revised the recipe and directions so as to make them more clear on the advise of one of the reviewers. I've added an approximate weight to the 6 chicken breasts. As far as the pan goes, my favourite pans are well seasoned cast iron as they tend to be relatively nonstick and go from stove top to oven readily.

Tips:

Choosing the Right Chicken Breasts: Opt for boneless, skinless chicken breasts of uniform thickness to ensure even cooking.
Pounding the Chicken Breasts: Use a meat mallet or rolling pin to gently pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness. This helps them cook evenly and reduces the risk of overcooking.
Seasoning the Chicken Breasts: Use a flavorful blend of seasonings to enhance the taste of the chicken. Common seasonings include salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and dried thyme.
Using a Non-Stick Pan: Opt for a non-stick pan to prevent the chicken breasts from sticking and tearing during cooking.
Cooking the Chicken Breasts: Cook the chicken breasts over medium heat to ensure they cook evenly without burning. Adjust the cooking time based on the thickness of the chicken breasts.
Basting the Chicken Breasts: Baste the chicken breasts with melted butter or olive oil during cooking to keep them moist and flavorful.
Checking the Internal Temperature: Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the chicken breasts. The safe internal temperature for cooked chicken is 165°F (74°C).
Resting the Chicken Breasts: Allow the chicken breasts to rest for a few minutes before slicing or serving. This helps the juices redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.
