  1. Brush chicken with olive oil. Sprinkle both sides liberally with salt.
  2. Place pepper in a pie pan. Dredge chicken in black pepper. Let rest for 2–3 minutes.
  3. Heat a large cast iron skillet over high heat. Pour in about 2 tbsp olive oil.
  4. Add chicken and cook 2 minutes per side, or until browned on both sides.
  5. Insert an oven-safe probe thermometer into one of the chicken breasts. Bake, pan and all, at 375°F until internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  6. Remove chicken from pan and keep warm. Deglaze pan with lemon juice and drizzle over chicken. Serve warm.
