Ingredients

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts

1 tbsp dried rosemary

1 tbsp dried thyme

1 tbsp dried sage

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp onion powder

Instructions

1. Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound them to an even thickness.

6. Fry the chicken breasts in the hot oil for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

7. Remove the chicken from the skillet and drain on paper towels before serving.
