1 cup all-purpose flour

½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

Savory Sautéed Chicken in Olive Oil and Black Pepper
------------------------------------------------------
Prep: 15 mins
Cook: 15 mins
----------------------
Ingredients
4 servings
-----------------------
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

¼ cup olive oil

1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

½ teaspoon paprika

½ teaspoon dried thyme

Salt to taste

------------------------------------

Step 1
Begin by patting the chicken breasts dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This helps achieve a nice sear.

Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dried thyme, and salt. Stir well to create a marinade.

Step 3
Add the chicken breasts to the bowl and coat them thoroughly with the marinade. Let the chicken marinate for at least 15 minutes at room temperature or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for deeper flavor.

Step 4
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken breasts to the skillet in a single layer, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.

Step 5
Sauté the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on one side without moving them, allowing a golden-brown crust to form.

Step 6
Flip the chicken breasts and reduce the heat to medium. Cook for an additional 5-6 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is cooked through.

Step 7
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute for a more tender bite.

Step 8
Serve the sautéed chicken warm, drizzled with any remaining pan juices, and enjoy your savory delight.

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon baking powder

---------------------------------

Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornflour, all-purpose flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, salt, and baking powder. Mix well to create the dry coating mixture.
