  • 4 (1 – 1.5-in. thick) chicken breasts
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/4 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp. ground coriander
  • 1 Tbsp. canola oil for searing

  6. Heat a pan over medium-high heat.
  7. Add the canola oil and quickly sear the chicken breasts for about 1 or 2 minutes per side, just enough time to develop some color in the coating.
