  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When you're cooking chicken or vegetables, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the food from cooking evenly and will also make it more likely to stick to the pan.
  • Cook the chicken until it's cooked through: Chicken should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. You can check this by inserting a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken.
  • Use a variety of spices and herbs: Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices and herbs to flavor your chicken. This will help to create a dish that is both flavorful and interesting.
