Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by rinsing the pheasant breasts under cold water. Pat them dry with paper towels. Trim any excess fat or sinew for a clean presentation.
Marination
  1. In a bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Add the pheasant breasts and coat them well. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes to soak up those flavors!
Cooking
  1. While the pheasant is marinating, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This will ensure a perfectly cooked meal.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a splash of olive oil. Once hot, add the marinated pheasant breasts. Sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  3. Transfer the seared breasts to a baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
  4. Once cooked, remove the pheasant from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. This helps keep it juicy! Slice and serve with your favorite sides.
