Cook the Chicken Breast

1. Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a little olive oil. 2. Place the chicken breast in the skillet and cook for 6-8 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked through. Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
