Tips:
- Use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs. This will make the cooking process quicker and easier.
- Slice the chicken thinly. This will help it to cook evenly and quickly.
- Use a large skillet or griddle. This will give the chicken plenty of room to cook without overcrowding.
- Heat the skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. This will help to sear the chicken and lock in the juices.
- Cook the chicken for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Do not overcrowd the pan, or the chicken will steam instead of sear.
- Use a variety of vegetables in your Margherita sauce. This will add flavor and color to the dish.
- Use fresh mozzarella cheese. This will give the sauce a creamy, gooey texture.
- Serve the chicken Margherita with your favorite pasta, rice, or bread.
