Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: For the best flavor and texture, use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs. If you're using a whole chicken, cut it into 8 pieces.
  • Use fresh herbs and spices: Dried herbs and spices will work in a pinch, but fresh herbs and spices will give your chicken a much more flavorful and aromatic taste.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the chicken, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly and will result in dry, overcooked chicken.
  • Cook the chicken until it's done: The best way to tell if the chicken is done is to use a meat thermometer. Insert the thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken and cook until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the chicken rest before serving: Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.
