Tips:
- Use boneless, skinless chicken breasts: This will make the chicken easier to cook and will help prevent it from drying out.
- Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes: This will help the chicken absorb the flavors of the marinade and make it more tender.
- Cook the chicken over medium heat: This will help prevent the chicken from burning and will ensure that it cooks evenly.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken is cooked through: The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving: This will help the juices redistribute throughout the chicken and will make it more tender.
