Tips:
- When selecting onions, choose firm and unblemished ones. Yellow and white onions work well in this recipe, but you can also experiment with sweeter varieties like Vidalia or Walla Walla onions.
- Thinly slicing the onions allows them to caramelize quickly and evenly. Use a sharp knife or mandoline to achieve thin, uniform slices.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the chicken. This will prevent it from cooking evenly and becoming dry. Cook the chicken in batches if necessary.
- To ensure the chicken is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check that it has reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the pan and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in more tender and flavorful chicken.
- Serve the chicken immediately with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.
