  • Choose the right chicken breasts. Boneless, skinless chicken breasts are best for this recipe. They should be about 1 pound each.
  • Use a sharp knife to butterfly the chicken breasts. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken is done cooking when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.

  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different toppings. Bacon, avocado, and salsa are all great options.
