Start off by seasoning both sides with salt, garlic powder, and pepper. Yes, just 3 ingredients!
Pan-fry in a large skillet enough to fit 3-4 pieces of chicken. Make sure the oil is hot so the chicken is quickly browned and seared. Cook each side for 4 minutes until crisp-brown. Then continue cooking with the lid on for another 6 to 8 minutes.
