To prepare, simply remove the chicken breast from its packaging. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with a small amount of oil. Place the chicken breast in the hot skillet and sear for several minutes on each side until a golden-brown crust forms. Reduce the heat to medium and continue cooking until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Allow it to rest for a few minutes before slicing.
