Notes

If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or on the stovetop, adding a little butter if needed to keep it moist. Make sure not to overcrowd the skillet when cooking the chicken, and let it rest for a few minutes after cooking to keep it juicy.
