Tips:

Use a heavy skillet or sauté pan: This will help to prevent the chicken from sticking and will also help to create a nice sear.
Make sure the chicken is dry before cooking: This will help to prevent the chicken from splattering and will also help to create a nice golden brown crust.
Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the chicken will not cook evenly and will be more likely to stick.
Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the chicken: The chicken is done cooking when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees Celsius).
Let the chicken rest before serving: This will help the chicken to retain its juices and will also make it easier to slice.
