Perfect for a quick dinner or as part of a larger meal, this dish uses minimal ingredients and can be prepared in no time.

Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Rinse the chicken breasts under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel.
- Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board.
- Using a sharp knife, slice the chicken breasts lengthwise into thin strips, approximately 1/2 inch wide.
- In a large bowl, place the chicken strips.
- Drizzle the olive oil over the chicken strips.
- Add the salt and black pepper.
- Using your hands or a pair of tongs, toss the chicken strips until they are evenly coated with the olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Heat a large non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat.
- Allow the pan to heat up for about 2-3 minutes until it is hot.
- Once the pan is hot, add the seasoned chicken strips in a single layer. You may need to cook the chicken in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
- Cook the chicken strips for 3-4 minutes on one side without moving them. This will allow them to get a nice sear and build flavor.
- Flip the chicken strips and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other side, or until the chicken is fully cooked and no longer pink in the center. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).
- Once the chicken strips are cooked, remove them from the pan and place them on a serving plate.
- Serve immediately with your choice of sides such as salad, steamed vegetables, rice, or a dipping sauce.
Tips:
- Ensure that the chicken breasts are uniformly sliced into strips for even cooking.
- Preheat the pan to a medium-high temperature before adding the chicken to achieve a nice sear.
- Feel free to marinate the chicken strips with additional herbs or spices for extra flavor.
- Use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) to ensure it is fully cooked.
- Let the chicken strips rest for a couple of minutes after cooking to retain their juices and flavor.
With just a few simple ingredients and steps, you can easily prepare delicious chicken strips with olive oil and seasoning. This straightforward recipe is ideal for busy weeknights and guarantees a flavorful meal every time. Enjoy your tasty chicken strips alone or pair them with your favorite sides for a complete and satisfying dinner.
