Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat until very hot, about 2 minutes. Place the chicken breasts on the grill pan and cook undisturbed for 5–6 minutes, until the underside is deeply golden and releases easily from the pan. Flip and cook for another 5–6 minutes, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 165°F (74°C).
