Notes

Make sure not to overcrowd the skillet when cooking the chicken for the best browning. Fresh herbs elevate the flavor, so add them for a better taste. Adjust the garlic and add red pepper flakes for extra heat if desired. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze for a month.
