Notes

🔪 Avoid overcrowding the pan so each chicken breast cooks evenly and the edges get slightly crisp.
🧀 For an extra golden finish, broil the dish for the last 1 to 2 minutes while watching closely to prevent burning.
💡 Swap chicken breasts for boneless skinless thighs if preferred; they stay extra juicy and need about 30 to 35 minutes at 400°F.
