Here’s the process presented in a more professional manner:
Cut each chicken breast in half horizontally to create thinner pieces.
Use a meat mallet to gently pound the chicken, ensuring an even thickness for uniform cooking.
In a small bowl, combine seasoned salt and smoked paprika to create the seasoning blend.
Evenly sprinkle the seasoning mixture on both sides of the chicken pieces, ensuring thorough coverage.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat, then add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the pan.
To avoid overcrowding, cook the chicken in batches:
- Place a portion of the seasoned chicken into the hot skillet.
- Cook for 5 to 6 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Once the first batch is completed, add more oil as needed and repeat the cooking process with the remaining chicken pieces.
Enjoy your perfectly cooked chicken!
