Pat the chicken breasts dry and season all over with the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Heat 1 tbsp avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the chicken and sear undisturbed for 5–6 minutes, until the underside is golden and releases easily from the pan. Flip and cook for another 5–6 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.
