Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the chicken breasts and sear for 5–6 minutes per side, until the exterior is golden brown and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 165°F (74°C). Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes, then shred with two forks.
