FAQ
Q: Can I bake this chicken instead of pan-frying it?
A: Absolutely! Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). After searing the chicken on the stovetop, transfer it to an oven-safe dish and bake for 10-15 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Q: How do I keep the chicken breasts from drying out?
A: Avoid overcooking and let the chicken rest before slicing. Basting with butter also helps keep the meat juicy.
Q: Can I use chicken thighs instead of breasts?
A: Yes! Chicken thighs are just as delicious and often juicier. Adjust cooking times as thighs may require slightly longer to cook through.
This recipe is proof that cooking chicken breasts doesn’t have to be a chore. With the right technique and flavors, you’ll be serving up a dish that’s worthy of praise every time!
