Pair this peppercorn-seasoned chicken with roasted vegetables or a fresh salad for a delightful meal. And when someone asks about the seasoning, give them a cheeky smile and say, “Oh, just a little trio of magic!”
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons salt
-
2 teaspoons peppercorn trio
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Juice of 1 lemon
- Fresh herbs for garnish (optional)
Directions
- Prepare the Chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. This helps them sear nicely.
- Make the Spice Mix: In a small bowl, combine the salt, crushed peppercorn trio, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well and set aside.
- Season the Chicken: Rub the olive oil over the chicken breasts, then sprinkle the spice mix evenly over both sides. Squeeze the lemon juice on top for an extra zing.
- Sear the Chicken: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/75°C).
- Rest and Serve: Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes. This helps retain the juices. Slice and serve garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
