For best flavor, let the chicken marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to an hour in the refrigerator.
2
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned chicken in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Sear for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown.

Work in batches if necessary to avoid lowering the pan temperature and steaming the chicken instead of searing.

Reduce heat to medium-low, cover the skillet, and continue to cook for another 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center. Internal temperature should reach 74°C (165°F).
