Notes

๐Ÿ”ช Prepare all ingredients before starting since this dish cooks quickly – have everything measured and ready to add to the pan
๐Ÿ— Pat the chicken pieces completely dry with paper towels before cooking to achieve a beautiful golden crust and better sear
๐ŸŒก๏ธ Use a hot pan and don’t overcrowd the skillet – this ensures the chicken gets properly browned rather than steaming
