Step 3
Let cool for about 5 minutes.
Step 4
Mix the oregano, basil, thyme, salt, and pepper together in a small bowl. Set aside.

Using the same sauté pan that was used earlier, heat the avocado oil over medium-high heat and cook the chicken for about 7-8 minutes on each side (or until fully cooked). Remove the chicken and set aside.
