Instructions
Preheat oven to 375 °F.
If using, drizzle honey over each side of chicken and spread with the back of a spoon. (I make a thin line down the center of each breast and spread it out to the sides.)
Sprinkle seasoning on both sides of the chicken.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear the chicken for one-two minutes on each side.
Place chicken in baking dish and cook, uncovered, for about 25-30 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink inside and reaches an internal temperature of 165 °F.
Notes
Leave off the honey to keep this recipe strictly South Beach Phase I compliant and low-carb.
