- Heat a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until hot.
- Add the oil.
- Make a slurry with the melted butter, flour, and cracked pepper, and brush half on top of the chicken breasts.
- Place the chicken slurry-side down in the pan, and brown for 3-4 minutes.
- While that side is browning, brush the remaining slurry on the other side.
- Flip chicken with tongs when browned and brown the other side for 3-4 minutes, or until the chicken is 160 degrees internally.
- Transfer chicken to a plate and let rest for 5 minutes.
- You can make a pan sauce now, use a prepared sauce, or serve as is.
