  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and spray a baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
  3. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil and sear the chicken for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from skillet and set aside.
