Ingredients
  • 2 Moody’s boneless skinless chicken breasts pounded flat, about ¾”
  • 1 T canola oil
  • 2 T butter
  • Salt and pepper or your favorite chicken seasoning to taste
Instructions
  1. Pound the chicken breasts flat, about ¾”.
  2. In your favorite skillet, heat the oil and butter over medium-high heat. Add chicken breasts as the oil and butter begins to bubble.

  3. Sautée over medium-high heat until there is a nice golden brown crust on both sides; baste constantly (a serving spoon works well).

  4. Once you have the crust, turn the heat down to medium, continue to baste until the chicken is done, approximately 160°F internal temperature. Add more butter if necessary.
