My pro tips for the perfect chicken breast! 1. Season both sides from up high. This will more equally distribute your seasoning. 2. Preheat your cooking surface over medium high heat, but longer than you think you need to, (maybe 30 seconds to a minute) then allow the oil to get hot. 3.Place the smooth side down first, it will not only sit flat in the pan or in a grill, it will be the prettiest side so that's what you show yourself and guests. (Referred to as the show or service side) 4. Sear over medium heat (hot enough to stay sizzling) until golden and delicious, flip and place the pan into a 375-400 degree oven. 5. Remove from the oven when the internal temperature reaches 150-155F and (THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PART!) allow it to rest for 3-5 minutes. 6. Slice and enjoy! #chicken #cookingtips #cookingathome
