Notes
- Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes after cooking to allow the juices to redistribute and for the residual heat to finish off the chicken.
- Sear the chicken in a pan on HIGH heat before baking to give it a crust and color. It will also help lock in the juices.
- Deglaze the pan after cooking by using wine, chicken broth, or water. Add the fond (what you scrape off the pan) as a juice to the finished dish.
