Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken
Start by pounding the chicken breasts to an even thickness for uniform cooking. Season both sides with salt and pepper to enhance the flavor.
- Sauté the Garlic
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

Add the seasoned chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
