  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your dish will taste. Whenever possible, use organic or locally sourced ingredients.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking chicken, it's important not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly and will result in a soggy dish.
  • Use a meat thermometer: The best way to ensure that your chicken is cooked through is to use a meat thermometer. Insert the thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken and cook until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the chicken rest before serving: After cooking the chicken, let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more flavorful and tender dish.
