You can use whatever saute’ pan you have. I typically always reach for my cast iron skillets first. However, with the recipe, because I wanted to use as little oil as possible I chose a non-stick skillet.

More yumminess
More chicken to love

I made this last night and it was a huge it. Thanks for the recipe, its definitely a keeper! My family loved it!
I was looking for a chicken recipe that was full of flavor, and this was it. I donโt like chicken, but feel I should eat it, so I am constantly trying a different chicken recipe every week, and this one was so good. Will have to look into a few others on this site.
Thanks so much!
