NAKED CHICKEN BREAST FILLETS

Chicken tenders:
1 tablespoon chicken scratch (recipe below)
4 chicken breast fillets
3 – 4 tablespoons olive oil

Cut the fillets in preferred portions and season the fillets with chicken scratch.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Use enough oil to cover the bottom of the skillet. Once the oil is hot, place the seasoned fillets in the skillet.
Cook about 4 minutes or until lightly browned on each side and cooked through.
Remove from heat. Let it rest for about 10 minutes before serving.

Chicken scratch:
3 tablespoons salt
3 tablespoons paprika
3 tablespoons garlic powder
1 tablespoon dried thyme
1 tablespoon white pepper
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon onion powder

Mix all ingredients together and store in an airtight container.
This is absolutely amazing and a big hit in our house.
If you use more than 4 fillets and there is some left over, it is delicious the next day in a garden salad.
