    2. Pat the chicken dry and season with salt and pepper on both sides; toss with ¼ cup flour to evenly coat.

    3. In a large pan, heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil over medium-high until hot. Add the coated chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, about 4 to 6 minutes. Transfer to a plate, leaving any browned bits (or fond) in the pan. Set aside.
