Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure all of your ingredients are prepped and measured. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling during the cooking process.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh ingredients will give your dish the best flavor. Whenever possible, use organic, locally-sourced produce and high-quality meats and seafood.
  • Don't Overcrowd the Pan: When sautéing, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the ingredients from cooking evenly and will result in a soggy dish.
  • Season Generously: Don't be afraid to season your dish generously. Salt and pepper are essential, but you can also add other spices and herbs to taste.
  • Cook to the Correct Temperature: Use a meat thermometer to ensure that your chicken is cooked to the correct internal temperature. This will help you avoid undercooked or overcooked chicken.
  • Make Your Own Salsa: Making your own salsa is easy and will give you a much fresher and flavorful result than store-bought salsa.
