Ingredients

  • 1 12 oz boneless, skinless, chicken breast pounded to an even thickness
  • 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 tsp onion powder
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1.5 TBSP olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.

  2. Preheat the grill pan on the stove top over medium-high heat for 5 minutes.

  3. While the grill pan is heating up, mix together the olive oil, Italian Spice blend, onion powder, salt, and pepper.

  4. Using a basting brush, spread half of the spice mixture on one side of the chicken.

  5. When the pan is preheated, place the chicken, oiled side down on the pan, listen for the sizzle. Let it cook for 4 minutes.

  6. Spread the remaining spice mixture on the other side of the chicken.

  7. Turn the chicken over using tongs. Allow to cook for 2 more minutes.

  8. Put the grill pan in the oven so the chicken can finish cooking.

  9. After 20 minutes in the oven, check the chicken's temperature with a probe thermometer, making sure the internal temperature is 165°F.

  10. Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before carving.

Recipe Notes

This recipe is for 2 people but it is easily scaled. You will need a large grill pan to cook more chicken at one time.

I served this chicken with yellow Spanish rice.
