01
Pound chicken breasts to even 3/4-inch thickness and season both sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder, letting rest 10 minutes at room temperature.

Heat olive oil in large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, then sear chicken breasts 6-7 minutes per side until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F.
