Ingredients

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

Whisk the extra virgin olive oil and lemon pepper seasoning together in a large mixing bowl.
Add the chicken breasts to the bowl and let them marinate for 15 minutes.
Heat a large cast iron skillet with about 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil. Sear the chicken for about 5 minutes until golden, then flip it and move the skillet to an oven preheated to 450 degrees. Roast for about 15 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
For a grilled version, cook the chicken on a grill for 8-10 minutes on each side until it has grill marks and is fully cooked.
