Tips:

  • Use a spice blend with a smoky flavor. This will give your chicken a delicious grilled flavor, even if you're cooking it indoors.
  • Marinate your chicken for at least 30 minutes. This will help the flavors penetrate the chicken and make it more tender.
  • Cook your chicken over medium heat. This will help prevent it from drying out.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the chicken. It should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Serve your chicken with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include salsa, guacamole, sour cream, and cheese.
