Instructions
Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness.
In a bowl, combine lemon juice, black pepper, minced garlic, and olive oil.
Marinate the chicken in the mixture for at least 30 minutes.

Cook the chicken on each side for 7-8 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
Make sure to pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness for uniform cooking.
Marinating the chicken for at least 30 minutes can help enhance the flavors.
Always preheat your pan before adding the chicken to get a good sear.
Don't overcrowd the pan. Cook in batches if necessary.
Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes after cooking for juicier meat.
