Best Chicken Ever!


Once I discovered this method for cooking chicken, I haven't done it another way.  It truly is perfect every time.  I mix up a bunch of the seasoning at a time so that I always have it handy to sprinkle on the chicken.  One of my favorite meals is one of these chicken breasts, a sweet potato, and some type of green veggie.  Perfect balance!

Ingredients

  • 2-4 boneless chicken breasts with or without rib meat
  • 1/2 t. salt 
  • 1/2 t. pepper 
  • 1/2 t. garlic powder 
  • 1/2 t. onion powder 
  • 1/2 t. paprika 
  • 2-3 T. olive oil
Directions
Mix salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika in a small bowl (I use my old 1/4 cup). Coat the chicken breasts in the seasoning, rubbing in to coat. Pour olive oil in the bottom of a Dutch oven, and heat to med-high. When nice and hot, add chicken to the pan (in batches if necessary). Cook 2-3 min per side. If any chicken has been removed, add it back to the Dutch oven. Place uncovered Dutch oven in a 350 degree F oven for 25 minutes or until juices run clear. Let sit on a plate 5-10 minutes before cutting, shredding, or eating.
