  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder

  2. Prepare the Chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry and season with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder.
  3. Sear the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for 2–3 minutes per side until golden.
