Tips
- Choose the right chicken: Use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs for best results. If using chicken breasts, pound them to an even thickness to ensure even cooking.
- Marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken in the apple juice, garlic, and herbs for at least 30 minutes (or up to overnight) will help infuse it with flavor and keep it moist during cooking.
- Cook the chicken over medium heat: This will help prevent the chicken from drying out. Cook the chicken until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as thyme, rosemary, and parsley, will add a delicious flavor to the chicken. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but use half the amount.
- Serve with your favorite sides: This chicken dish pairs well with a variety of sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.
