Expert Tips

Use a thermometer. Although you can get an idea when the chicken is done because of its color, it is safer to use a cooking thermometer to confirm. Remember that chicken needs to reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74 °C) to be safely served.

Use a cast iron skillet if possible. Cast iron pans have nonstick properties and also promote even cooking! Using one also ensures the chicken becomes perfectly golden brown on each sides, it making for an excellent presentation.

When searing, don’t add chicken to a cold pan. You want the skillet to already be hot with oil before adding the meat so it gets a nice sear and you can lock the juices in.
