2. Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat for 2 min until hot.
3. Place the chicken breasts in the hot grill pan and cook for 6-7 min until the bottom is golden and the internal temperature reaches 74°C (165°F).
4. Flip the chicken and cook for 4-5 min on the other side until golden and cooked through.
5. Remove the chicken from the grill pan and let it rest for 3-4 min.
6. While the chicken cooks, bring a pot of water to a boil.
