Scale
For the Crust:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, pounded thin
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Instructions
1. Prepare the Crust:
- Season chicken with salt and pepper, then dredge in flour, shaking off excess.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
