Notes
- When searing the chicken breasts, don’t flip if they are sticking to the pan. This means the chicken is not ready to flip. Wait another minute and try again.
- Consider using thinner chicken breasts or cutting them in half horizontally if they are thick so that they can cook all the way through without getting overdone or taking extra long to cook.
