PAN FRIED FROZEN CHICKEN BREASTS
Frozen chicken breasts (enough to fill your frying pan)
Cooking oil (I use extra virgin olive oil)
1/2 cup water (adjust, depending on your frying pan. I use 1/2 cup for 10″ frying pan)
Herb and spices of your choice: (here are some ideas… the possibilities are endless!)
Italian seasoning
no-salt seasoning
Herbs de Provence
basil, oregano
garlic powder
onion powder
paprika
Montreal steak spice (Note: contains salt, use if your chicken breasts are unseasoned)
Preheat frying pan on medium-high heat. Lightly coat pan with olive oil. Place frozen chicken breasts on the pan and sprinkle with the herbs and seasonings of your choice. Add 1/2 cup water, cover and let simmer on medium for 20 minutes.
After 20 minutes, flip chicken breasts over and cut 2-3 slits across the chicken breast half-way. Cover and cook another 15 minutes or until done. Serve hot or cold.
