Chicken:

Place the chicken in the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees. Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for 5-10 minutes.

TIPS:
-
- Let the chicken get closer to room temperature for even cooking. Cold chicken in a hot skillet can lead to a well cooked outside before the inside is done.
-
- If your chicken breast is thick then cook it in a skillet for 5-6 minutes per side and finish it in the oven at 350 degrees, for roughly 7-10 minutes, or until the internal temperature is 160 degrees. Remove the chicken and rest for 5-10 minutes.
