Prep Notes
Pat dry with paper towels. Brush lightly with oil and season as desired. If breasts are thicker than 1 inch, pound or butterfly to an even thickness. Let rest at room temperature for 10 minutes before cooking.
Doneness check: Internal temperature reaches 165°F at the thickest part. Juices run clear when pierced. Let rest 5 minutes before slicing.
