Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the dish will taste. Use fresh, organic produce and free-range chicken whenever possible.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When browning the chicken, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly and will make it more likely to stick to the pan.
- Season the chicken well: Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and other spices before cooking. This will help to enhance the flavor of the chicken.
- Cook the chicken over medium heat: Cook the chicken over medium heat so that it has a chance to cook through without burning.
- Don't overcook the chicken: Overcooked chicken is dry and tough. Cook the chicken just until it is cooked through, but still juicy.
- Let the chicken rest before serving: Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and flavorful.

Sunday Company Chicken is a delicious and versatile dish that is perfect for any occasion. With a little planning and preparation, you can easily make this dish at home.
