Step 1
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 2 tsp extra-virgin olive oil.

Step 3
Slice 680 g boneless, skinless chicken breast into strips and season with salt and pepper.

Increase the heat to medium-high. Add seasoned chicken strips to the pan. Sear for 6-8 minutes, turning once, until golden brown.

Sprinkle 1/4 to 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese over the pan, then cover, reduce heat, and cook another 2-3 minutes until chicken is cooked through (it should reach 74°C if using a meat thermometer). Season to taste with extra salt and pepper.
