Boneless chicken breasts, are super common, because they can work in thousands of different dishes, are fast to make, and work with a ton of different flavors. The downside, is that they are pretty easy to overcook, or just cook quite blandly.
In this video, I show you a simple technique for pan roasting boneless chicken breasts. I just a few spices to add some flavor, but even with just salt and pepper, this technique will help get a crispy, flavorful outside and a moist tender center.

Glad I'm not the only one

[@DaveBeaulieu]

The honest answer is practice and repetition. There are signs you're looking for...when cooking like the edges of the chicken will turn white as they cook...that's about the time you want to flip. Then after a few minutes, the chicken will firm up to the touch...and with practice you can tell what a raw, perfectly cooked, and over cooked chicken feel like. Use a meat thermometer until you get the hang of it.

[@anthonyshaw8698]

You can do it all on the top of the stove. You'll have to flip is a couple more times. You can also try using a cover on the pan, creating a pseudo oven!

I had heard sautéing in olive oil is carcigenic once it reaches a certain temperature & puts off the steam/smoke, so I'd use a different oil.

[@MD-DOOM]

Youre right. It burns at a low temperature. Canola oil has a high viscosity and is good for frying. Olive oil goes is for foods that use a lower fire and towards the end

[@anthonyshaw8698]

@@MD-DOOM Canola oil is not good for you. Coconut oil would probably be better. More healthy.

Although he said chicken breast are sort of like a “blank canvas,” I personally think this is a good dish on its own. You can combine it with some rice or something light and you have yourself a dish. I like how he seasoned the meat, and how he told us what he seasoned it with. It absolutely looks delicious! 😋 And I can't wait to start making some of this yummy chicken breast. Thank you for the tips/tutorial (:

These are actually Boneless and Skinless...including "skinless" makes my video title longer than I like it ;-) But yes, I would use the same technique for either, with the additional point that if you are using skin on chicken, sear the skin side first

[@tiowaro]

i have just started to cook for myself, so some of my questions may seen silly but after you cooked them on the pan, both sides and then for 7 mins in the oven at 400 degrees? my question is this.....do i put the chicken in the oven still in the pan or do i have to remove them and put it on a cooking sheet? will my pan melt or burn in an oven? are they designed to withstand that kinda heat and still be ok?

[@FunkAdelik]

+carlos alvarenga you need to make sure you have a frying pan that can also go into the oven.

[@kristenedwards582]

How long do you leave in the pan for both sides and how long to you leave it in the oven.

[@DaveBeaulieu]

Hard to give a specific time as chicken varies in thickness. Very think, and just 3 - 4 minutes per side will do it. Thicker, then I do the same, and then put into the oven for another 3 - 4 minutes. Most important is to get a good sear on the outside,and learn to tell,with practice, when they are cooked through.

[@dlove1291]

How long you cook the chicken on the stove? And what degree you put the oven and for how long you leave it on the oven?

[@DaveBeaulieu]

400 degree oven. The real answer on time is "until it's down". That will vary depending on your oven, pan, and chicken. 3 - 7 minutes is the window.

[@DNBursky]

Very helpful, just wondered, with the tongs, you touched the raw chicken but also when you flipped it, what is best for safety purposes? Hoping you can help. I don't want to get salmonella

[@DaveBeaulieu]

You do need to be careful of contamination. When I flipped the chicken it was still cooking...so the germs will be killed off. Once seared on all sides, make sure you wash tongs (or whatever else you have) so they don't touch cooked meat.

[@Zodija]

+mike evans I reuse tin foil that I have used to line cookie sheets. I even put the pieces through the dishwasher and then keep all the pieces in a plastic bag that I brought produce home in. Then when I'm going to sauté, I use them to fashion a covering for the top of the stove, obviously leaving a circle for the burner. You can throw them away or run them through the dishwasher again if you plan to reuse them. You could even wash them by hand, but that would defeat the point of not having to clean up after sautéing! ;)

[@mydogskips2]

+mike evans First off, use less oil if possible, and get a splatter screen/guard.
