Step-by-Step Instructions
First things first, let’s get that chicken cooked. I like to season the boneless, skinless chicken breast with salt and pepper before searing it in a skillet over medium heat with a drizzle of olive oil. It usually takes about 6-7 minutes on each side until it’s nicely golden brown and cooked through. As that’s happening, I often start warming up the marinara sauce in a small pot, so it’s ready to go when the chicken is done. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
