- Heat 2 tbsp of olive oil in frying pan over high heat (get it very hot). Add 2 tbsp of butter.
- When butter has melted down, place chicken breasts in pan and let cook for 2 minutes.
- Flip chicken, swirling butter/oil so they re-coat the bottom of the pan. Cook for another 2 minutes.
- Check that chicken isn't sticking to the pan. Add a little more oil if necessary. Reduce heat to very low and cover the frying pan (essentially, reduce to a simmer).
- Cook for 10 minutes, or until chicken is fully cooked.
Easy to shred: use forks or toss in a sturdy (read: KitchenAid) mixer on a low setting.
