  • 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.
