Ingredients

Instructions
  1. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.

  3. Heat the olive oil and butter in a skillet or heavy bottomed panned over medium-high heat and cook the chicken until the outside is a golden brown, turn, and cook other side until golden brown approximately 15 minutes. Remove from heat. Place chicken on plate and cover with foil to keep warm.
