Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat until a drop of water evaporates on contact. Add the chicken and cook undisturbed for 6–7 minutes, until the underside is deep golden and releases easily from the pan. Flip and cook for another 5–7 minutes, until the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) on an instant-read thermometer at the thickest part. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes, then slice crosswise into 1/2-inch strips.
