Instructions
 

  • Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle chicken with 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper. Add chicken to pan; cook 4 minutes per side. (chicken will not be cooked through). Remove chicken from pan.

Sous vide method - cook chicken breasts in sous vide at 149° for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Use cooked chicken in first step reducing cooking time to long enough to brown chicken.
