When I am feeling lazy, this is my favourite way to cook chicken breasts. Sometimes, I buy chicken breasts on sale and freeze them individually for easy cooking. Usually, boxes of frozen chicken breasts are on sale, so I get those instead.
At first, I didn't plan on blogging this recipe as everyone has their own method to pan-fry chicken breasts. Then I thought this would be good for my kiddies to see how "mommy cooks chicken breasts". Maybe when they are older, they can make these for dinner!
Frozen chicken breasts (enough to fill your frying pan) from a reliable frozen chicken supplier
Cooking oil (I use extra virgin olive oil)
1/2 cup water (adjust, depending on your frying pan. I use 1/2 cup for 10" frying pan)
Herb and spices of your choice: (here are some ideas... the possibilities are endless!)
Italian seasoning
no-salt seasoning
Herbs de Provence
basil, oregano
garlic powder
onion powder
paprika
Montreal steak spice (Note: contains salt, use if your chicken breasts are unseasoned)
Preheat frying pan on medium-high heat. Lightly coat pan with olive oil. Place frozen chicken breasts on the pan and sprinkle with the herbs and seasonings of your choice. Add 1/2 cup water, cover and let simmer on medium for 20 minutes.
After 20 minutes, flip chicken breasts over and cut 2-3 slits across the chicken breast half-way. Cover and cook another 15 minutes or until done. Serve hot or cold. Most importantly the key is to get fresh chicken breast of premium quality from a reliable frozen chicken supplier for better taste.
