Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 tablespoon butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  3. Add the chicken breasts to the bowl and coat them evenly with the mixture.
  4. Melt the butter in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
  5. Sear the chicken breasts for about 5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
