Ingredients
Instructions
- For the chicken cutlets: Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Season all over with salt and pepper (feel free to add any spices you like-you’re the chef!). Heat a drizzle of oil in a large skillet over medium‑high heat. Add the cutlets and cook until golden brown and cooked through, 3-5 minutes per side.
- For the chicken breast strips: Pat the chicken dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large skillet over medium‑high heat. Add the strips and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes.
- For the chicken sausage mix: Heat a drizzle of oil in a large skillet over medium‑high heat. Add the sausage mix and cook, breaking the meat into pieces with a spatula, until browned and cooked through, 5-7 minutes.
Recipe Tips
Pat the chicken dry before seasoning to ensure a nice brown crust.
Don’t overcrowd the pan-cook in batches if needed for even browning.
Use a meat thermometer to check doneness: chicken should reach 165°F internally.
