Tips:

  • To achieve crispy and flavorful chicken, use a combination of butter and olive oil when searing. This will prevent the butter from burning while adding a rich taste.
  • Use a cast iron skillet or a heavy-bottomed pan to ensure even cooking and a golden-brown crust.
  • Season the chicken generously with salt and pepper before searing. This will enhance the natural flavors of the chicken and create a savory crust.
  • Cook the chicken over medium-high heat until golden brown on both sides. This will create a crispy exterior while keeping the inside moist and tender.
  • Top the chicken with thinly sliced onions and cook until caramelized. The onions will add a sweet and savory flavor to the dish.
  • Deglaze the pan with white wine or chicken broth to create a flavorful sauce. This will add depth and complexity to the dish.
  • Serve the chicken with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.
