Creole Chicken

Prep Ingredients

1. Let the chicken reach room temperature before starting!

2. Pat dry two thinly sliced chicken breast. (If you are not able to find chicken breast that is already thinly sliced, either butterfly each slice or place it in a plastic bag and pound with a meat tenderizer)

3. Rub each side with a light amount of olive oil.

4. Season generously with Creole seasoning.  (If you have a heavy hand, use low-sodium creole seasoning)

5. Set aside to let marinate.

Sear

1. Heat up olive oil in a skillet on medium-high heat. 

2. Add chicken breast into the skillet. It is very important that you do not bother the chicken once you lay it on the pan.

3. After about 4 minutes, flip over each chicken breast.

4. Add in a tablespoon of Irish garlic herb butter into the the pan, and a half a tablespoon of butter on each chicken breast.

5. Once the temperature reaches 165ºF (or it's been searing for another 3-4 minutes), flip each chicken breast over and let sear for about 20 seconds.

6. Remove chicken from heat and let rest for 5-10 minutes.
