2. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. If desired, you can also sprinkle herbs or spices on the chicken to enhance its flavor.
3. If you're using an oven, place the seasoned chicken on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil or in a greased baking dish. If you're using a skillet, add some oil to the preheated skillet.
4. If using the oven, bake the chicken for about 20-30 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). If using a skillet, cook the chicken for about 6-8 minutes on each side or until fully cooked through.
