Lazy Chicken Recipe

We eat chicken more than any other meat. While I love to try new recipes with chicken, this is my 'lazy' (read: easy) recipe that works when I need to make lunch or dinner in a snap and haven't had time for marinating. It's simple and the key is garlic and not pricking the chicken with a fork (makes it juicier). There is really nothing to it! Having a good non-toxic, non-stick skillet (love my Copenhagen GreenPan) really makes it crispy without a sticky mess.

*NOTE* I no longer use or recommend frying in olive oil at high heat as it change's the oil's composition, and not in a good way. Instead I use either coconut oil, tallow, or a little butter - which gives it a nice crispy coat. I don't recommend butter in a stainless pan though, but it works in an Eco non-stick with diamond coating. 

Ingredients:

1 package chicken breast
4 cloves garlic

2 tablespoons olive oil
salt, pepper, spices to taste

Directions: 

1. Slice garlic and saute in olive oil in a frying pan.

2. When the pan is heated through, place chicken breast in pan and brown on high, turning frequently. Add salt, pepper, and seasoning on all sides. Make sure it is golden brown before covering and let it cook on medium for about 20 - 25 minutes.
3. Cook uncovered for another 5- 10 minutes until golden to your liking and you are done! 

Delicious as is with a side of your choice, or cut up to place in a wrap, sandwich, as a pizza topping. I like to start it and while it cooks, I make a salad and/or rice dish - so in a short 30 - 35 minutes I can make a quick healthy meal without feeling like I toiled in the kitchen.
