1
Pat the chicken breasts dry using a paper towel. This allows the chicken to get a golden brown sear.
2
Sprinkle chicken evenly on both sides with sea salt, black pepper, and minced garlic.
3
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. The skillet needs to be hot but not smoking.
4
Add the chicken to the pan. Cook for 6 minutes, or until the bottom is golden and the chicken releases easily from the pan. Flip and cook the other side for the same amount of time.
5
Take off heat and let the chicken rest in the pan for 5 minutes, this allows the meat to complete its cooking process and reabsorb its juices leading to a tender chicken breast.
6
To finish, squeeze the lemon over the chicken to give an additional kick of flavor right before serving.
