Directions

  3. 3. Preheat a frying pan over medium-high heat.
  4. 4. Lightly coat the pan with PAM avocado oil cooking spray for approximately 4 seconds.
  5. 5. Cook the chicken for 4–6 minutes on the first side, depending on its thickness, followed by 4–5 minutes on the other side. Check that the thickest part has reached an internal temperature of 74°C.
  6. 6. Remove it from the pan and allow it to rest for 5 minutes.
  7. 7. Slice and serve with lemon.
