Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Heat [a few tablespoons of extra-virgin olive] oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat until smoking. Sprinkle… chicken breasts on both sides with salt and pepper. Put them in the pan in a single layer, and brown them 2 minutes on each side. Put the skillet in the oven and roast until the chicken is just cooked through, about 15 minutes.
