Tips:

  • To achieve the best flavor, use fresh ingredients whenever possible.
  • Make sure to pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness before cooking. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the chicken. If you do, the chicken will steam instead of fry and will not get crispy.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken is cooked through. The internal temperature 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 make it more tender.
