10 dashes Tabasco sauce (or any hot sauce)

Steps:

Tips:

Choose boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs for a leaner dish.
Season the chicken generously with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices. This will help to infuse the chicken with flavor as it cooks.
Use a variety of vegetables in your recipe. This will add color, texture, and nutrients to the dish.
Don't be afraid to experiment with different cooking times. The exact time will depend on the size and thickness of your chicken breasts or thighs.
Serve the chicken with your favorite sides, such as rice, pasta, or roasted vegetables.
