How to Make Tasty Sauteed Chicken Breasts

  1. Rinse and pat dry the chicken breasts.
  2. In a large zip-top bag, combine the flour, salt, and pepper. Shake to mix well.
  3. Add one chicken breast at a time to the bag. Seal the bag and gently shake to coat the chicken thoroughly.
  4. Remove the chicken from the bag and gently shake off any excess flour.
  5. Discard any remaining flour in the bag.
  6. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  7. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken breasts to the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
  8. Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and cook for 20-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear. Cooking time will depend on the thickness of the breasts; thinner breasts will require less cooking time. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  9. Serve the chicken immediately over basmati rice. Ladle Béarnaise sauce over the chicken and rice as desired. Knorr brand sauce is a great alternative if you don't have homemade Béarnaise.
  10. Enjoy!
