  • Use a sharp knife: A sharp knife will make it much easier to cut your vegetables and chicken.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When you're cooking the chicken, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly.
  • Cook the chicken until it's cooked through: The chicken is cooked through when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Serve the chicken immediately: The chicken is best served immediately after it's cooked.
