Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and utensils ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling during the cooking process.
- Use fresh ingredients: Whenever possible, use fresh ingredients for the best flavor. This is especially important for the chicken, vegetables, and herbs.
- Season the chicken well: Don't be afraid to season the chicken generously with salt and pepper. This will help to bring out the natural flavor of the chicken.
- Cook the chicken over medium heat: Cooking the chicken over medium heat will help to prevent it from drying out. Cook the chicken until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Make sure the sauce is thick enough: The sauce should be thick enough to coat the chicken and vegetables. If the sauce is too thin, you can thicken it by adding a cornstarch slurry.
- Serve the chicken with rice or noodles: Catalina chicken is traditionally served with rice or noodles. You can also serve it with roasted vegetables or a side salad.
