Ingredients

4 servings

•
Chicken Breast, Boneless Skinless
Boneless skinless. Buy in bulk and freeze — Costco rotisserie packs work too.
•
kosher salt and freshly-cracked black pepper
•
Butter(30g)
•
Everything bagel seasoning blend(60g)

Instructions

1Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels, then season both sides evenly with the everything bagel seasoning, pressing gently to adhere.
2Heat the salted butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat for 1–2 minutes until melted and foaming.
3Place the chicken breasts in the skillet in a single layer and cook for 6–7 minutes until the bottom is golden brown and releases easily from the pan.
4Flip the chicken and cook for another 6–7 minutes over medium-high heat until the internal temperature reaches 165°F when measured at the thickest part, and the exterior is golden brown.
5Remove the skillet from heat and let the chicken rest in the pan for 5 minutes.
6Divide the chicken evenly into 4 airtight containers while still warm, then cool completely before sealing and refrigerating for up to 3 days, or freezing for up to 3 months.
