Main Dish

Steps

Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper on both sides.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Add the chicken breast and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through.
In a small bowl, mix ketchup, minced garlic, and soy sauce.
Pour the ketchup mixture over the chicken in the skillet and cook for an additional 2 minutes, spooning the sauce over the chicken to glaze it.
Remove from heat, garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve hot.

Tips for Ketchup Glazed Chicken Skillet

A glossy coating that clings to the chicken signals the glaze is ready; avoid prolonged cooking, which can make the ketchup sauce overly thick.
A heavy skillet helps the chicken brown evenly; use tongs and leave space around the breast so it sears rather than steams.
If the breast is especially thick, gently pound it to an even thickness before cooking for more consistent doneness within the short cooking time.
