Place your hand flat on top of each chicken breast and slice through horizontally to make two thin steaks. In a medium bowl, combine the garlic & herb seasoning and a drizzle of olive oil. Add the chicken and toss to coat.

In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over a medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until cooked through, 3-5 minutes each side (depending on thickness). Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm
