Preheat a flat top griddle or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and spread it evenly.

Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt, pepper, and dried herbs.

Place the chicken on the hot surface and sear for 5 to 7 minutes per side, or until the chicken is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

Reduce the heat slightly. Add the minced garlic around the chicken and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the garlic is fragrant.

Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese generously over the chicken. Cover loosely with a lid or foil to allow the cheese to melt, about 2 to 3 minutes.

Remove from heat and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.
