Pan Chicken

Pan Chicken

Cook the chicken

> Get chicken breast. Ideally pre-cut in thin slices. If not, cut it yourself

> Season both sides. Use salt and other stuff (pepper, or curry powder, or something else)

> Cook both sides. Add oil when the pan is looking dry. Check for internal temperature 165F.

> Rest it covered on a rack. Or a plate with two skewers on it

Make a sauce

There will be gunk stuck to the pan at this point. We want to clean the pan and simultaneously get this flavor into our sauce.

> Dice an onion

> Smash garlic. 4 cloves

> Clean the knife and cutting board. You don't want to clean dried garlic from things later.

> Fry the onions

> Add the garlic. Cooks fast

> Add liquid. Chicken broth, or bone broth, or chicken granulated bouillon (half a teaspoon) dissolved in water. Don't add too much if you don't have time to reduce it. Also add any juices that have dripped down from the chicken.

> Simmer it until it reduces

> Add sauce to the chicken. People say to plate it underneath the chicken so we keep the crust dry. Idk.
