Pan Fried Chicken


This is one of those quick meal things.  It works really well if you have a giant bag of frozen chicken breasts already sitting in the freezer.  Go ahead and cook them frozen, no need to thaw this time!

You will need:
Frozen chicken breasts (I am using three)
3 Tbsp. oil
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste
Seasoning of your choice (I used Roasted Garlic and Bell Pepper... REALLY good on chicken)

Heat your skillet on medium-high heat and add oil. When oil is hot, add chicken.  Season the top side with salt, pepper, and seasoning.  Then cover with a lid and let cook for 5-10 minutes.

When bottom side is white, flip over and begin to cook other side. Season this side just as you did with the first side. Cover and let cook for another 5-10 minutes.  Check with a fork and knife if the center juices run clear. If everything is still pink inside, continue flipping every 5-10 minutes  until the center is white and juices are clear (I flipped like 4 or 5 times).

Enjoy! Can be served as a main course, or can be used in other dishes like salads or pastas.
