Marinate the chicken breasts with 1 oz of oil, salt to taste, and pepper to taste. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before cooking.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Add the remaining 1 oz of oil to a sauté pan over medium heat. Add the chicken to the pan, laying it away from you to prevent the hot oil from splashing towards you. Let it sear for about a minute, then flip to sear the other side.
Place in the oven and cook for about 15 minutes or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165 degrees F.
