Recipe Instructions:
Ingredients
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 tsp. salt
1 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. ground white pepper
1 tsp. chilli flakes
1 tsp. chilli powder
1 tsp. dried oregano
1 tsp. smoked paprika
4 tbsp. unsalted butter
Lemon slices, optional
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 180°C (160ºC fan). Place a large (at least 25-cm) cast-iron pan into the oven to preheat.
Step 2
Cut each chicken breast in half lengthwise to create two thin cutlets.
Step 3
In a small bowl, combine all seasonings together and stir to combine. Season chicken breasts all over with seasoning mixture.
Step 4
Carefully take the pan out of the oven and place onto the stovetop. Melt butter over medium-high heat. Once melted, sear chicken breasts on both sides, about 3 to 5 minutes each side. At this stage, you’re looking for chicken to get a nice char.
Step 5
Remove from heat and garnish with lemon slices, if desired. Place the pan back into the oven to allow chicken to cook through completely, 5 to 7 minutes.
Step 6
Serve warm along with your favourite side dishes.
