For a richer flavor, use bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts. Adjust cooking time accordingly. If the sauce becomes too thick, add a splash of chicken broth to thin it out. Serve with a side of creamy mashed potatoes or fluffy rice to soak up the delicious sauce. Pounding the chicken breasts ensures even cooking and a tender result. Ensure the skillet is hot before adding the chicken to achieve a beautiful sear.
