Scale
- 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts

- Prepare the Chicken: Slice the chicken breasts in half horizontally or pound them to an even thickness. Season both sides with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
- Sear the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken and sear until golden brown, about 4–5 minutes per side.
